What are our responsibilities to our friends- especially on a wild night out?<\/p>\n

After a rowdy New Year\u2019s Eve in Hollywood, party girl April wakes up and realizes she\u2019s been sexually assaulted. Spiraling and unclear on what happened, she does her best to hide it from her sober, responsible boyfriend Grant until she can call her fairweather friend Lola to fill in the blanks.<\/p>\n

But superficial, dismissive Lola wasn\u2019t looking out for April in the way that girlfriends \u201cshould\u201d\u2014and Lola snaps after April questions her character and integrity. In a nasty argument, Lola cites April\u2019s promiscuous past as evidence that April was, in fact, asking for it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Devastated by Lola\u2019s slut-shaming, April faces a difficult question: Was this really her fault? This problematic thought prompts April to finally join Grant at an AA meeting to start the year off right for a change.<\/p>\n

April Kills The Vibe is a film that poses timely questions about how women hold themselves accountable to one another\u2014and to themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
