Despite the power of DNA to solve and prevent crimes, hundreds of thousands of rape kits–containing potentially crucial DNA evidence–languish untested in police property rooms across the country. Over 6,500 are here in Washington State. Each of the kits represents a survivor still waiting for justice.

I AM EVIDENCE tells the story of four survivors whose rape kits went untested for years. It follows them as they navigate their way through the criminal justice system and learn that, so often, the system is broken. The film reveals how we have treated the crime of sexual assault in this country and shows the positive results when perpetrators are held accountable and survivors are given the opportunity to heal.
