How To Cook Your Daughter

How to Cook Your Daughter, a film adaptation based on a memoir by Jessica Hendra and Blake Morrison. The story follows Hendra’s experience growing up as the daughter of a National Lampoon editor. While a disillusioned generation of Americans reveled in the smart, sometimes brilliant and always raucous humor of the Lampoon, Jessica withered away beneath the weight of her father’s verbal and sexual abuse. It’s a story of a young girl who found the courage as an adult to demand that her rights, and the rights of all abuse survivors, be taken seriously.
