Lady Gaga's music videos have long explored the darker undersides of sex and relationships, but her new clip for "Til It Happens To You" takes a much more serious turn by addressing sexual assault and how we as a society handle such violence.
The stark video, directed by "Twilight's" Catherine Hardwicke, depicts several unnerving scenes of assault, only to follow them with three real-life female victims dealing with the aftermath.
Though "The Hunting Ground" documentary has faced criticism for its research methods and its tone , Gaga's video is a rare, empathetic and powerful short film about resiliency and recovery.
