DAKOTA FANNING - Hounddog

Dakota Fanning, 12, pretends to be a 9 year old whose precocious behavior leads her into a series of sexual episodes, one of which is her rape by an adult. The indie drama, second one to deal with child rape by writer and director, Deborah Kampmeier.

According to the script, obtained by the Blue Line back in June, the film opens with the young actress pleading to a young male actor, with the promise of a kiss, to show her his penis. The movie's climax is a rape scene. The actress strips for a man and does an Elvis style dance in return for tickets to see Elvis in concert. The man (played by actor Chistoph Sanders) refuses to deliver the tickets and rapes her instead. According to sources on set, the filming was frontally lit and Dakota was clearly visible as she was groped, licked, pawed and humped by an actor take, after take, after take, all the while Dakota's mom watched from a nearby monitor. (important to note that since this was written the movie has been released and no such graphic rape scene appears on camera)

North Carolina State Law (NCGS 14-190.16 (a) (4) ) which states that it shall be the First Degree Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, a serious Felony Offense in which records, photographs, films, develops, or duplicates for sale or pecuniary gain material that contains a visual representation depicting a minor engaged in sexual activity.

The Blue Line Radio has been told by law enforcement that there is an official investigation into whether or not a crime was committed in the making of this film. According to the law, one merely has to record a fake act of sexual activity involving a minor to be guilty of sexual exploitation of a minor. Whether or not the film will show this in the final cut is inconsequential, it is the recording of the act that is the crime.

After some of the investors pulled their financial support supposedly because of the sexual content seen in some of the dailies, the film makers re shot a scene, that we were told, showed Dakota with another child fondling each other in acts of mutual masturbation.(this is scene number 39 and has been cut from the movie according to those who saw the movie)

The Blue Line Radio Show has been calling awareness to this film as soon as we first learned of the script, prior to filming. Unfortunately the outcry was overheard by the Governor and State Legislators as they pushed through an incentive bill that would give tax money to the producers of Houndog and other films shot in North Carolina.

Prior controversial films shot in Wilmington, North Carolina dealing with child sex: Bastard Out of Carolina and Lolita.

Hollywood has been peddling sexual imagery of children for a number of years. The recent Dakota Fanning movie is no exception except one, the movie has not been released yet. Is it art or is it the perverse exploitation of a child?
