More than 1,000 requests from colleges and universities have come in to host screenings of "The Hunting Ground," a new documentary examining how higher education institutions handle s-xual assault on campus, the filmmakers told The Huffington Post on Tuesday. 

Fifty-two higher education institutions already confirmed with RADiUS, the film's distributor, that they will host screenings on their campuses. That list includes several colleges under federal investigation due to concerns with how they've handled reports of s-xual violence, including Brown University, the University of Virginia, Iowa State University, Dartmouth College, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Colorado-Boulder, the University of Kansas and Columbia University. 

"The Hunting Ground" examines several college student s-xual assault cases, including that of Erica Kinsman, who reported Florida State University quarterback Jameis Winston for rape in December 2012. The film then tracks how Annie E. Clarkand Andrea Pino, two University of North Carolina graduates, worked with other activists to file federal complaints accusing universities of mishandling rape. The U.S. Department of Education is currently investigating how 97 colleges responded to s-xual violence reports. 

"With more than 1,000 invitations to screen 'The Hunting Ground' on college campuses across the country, it’s a promising sign of leadership and courage inside the ranks of higher education," filmmakers Kirby **** and Amy Ziering wrote in a statement to HuffPost. 

"The Hunting Ground" debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January, hit New York and Los Angeles theaters last weekend and will air on CNN later this year. 

**** and Ziering are the Academy Award-nominated team behind "The Invisible War," a 2012 documentary about s-xual assault in the military. 

Another documentary about campus rape, "It Happened Here," is also being screened on college campuses in conjunction with the White House's "It's On Us" anti-s-xual violence campaign.
