Previous recipients of the Kramer award include “An Inconvenient Truth,” “Hotel Rwanda,” “In America,” “Antwone Fisher,” “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” “Precious,” “Fruitvale Station” and “The Normal Heart.” The visceral reaction this film evokes has mobilized audiences worldwide to take action, and has served as a focal point in campus discussions and in revising institutional policies.” “This powerful documentary gives a voice to the victims of student sexual assault - a national problem too long clouded in secrecy and shielded from public attention.

“This year’s recipient of the Stanley Kramer Award, ‘The Hunting Ground,’ truly embodies the spirit, courage and intention of the award’s namesake,” said Producers Guild Awards Co-Chairs Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd.

“The Hunting Ground” is one of the five nominees up for the PGA’s documentary award. The award is determined by a seven-person committee appointed by the PGA’s Board of Directors, and operates independently of the Producers Guild Awards committee and the PGA staff. The Stanley Kramer Award was established in 2002 to honor a production, producer or other individual whose achievement or contribution illuminates and raises public awareness of important social issues.
