It's been nearly two years since Deborah Kampmeier's Hounddog first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival but as it gears up for a September 19 theatrical release, the same controversies that surrounded it then have reappeared. The story of a precocious young girl (Dakota Fanning) who has her innocence stolen when a local deliveryman rapes her has been drawing critics since before it was ever screened. Here, MM talks with writer-director-producer Kampmeier about the movie's intentions and implications.
