    Director Joshua Rofé values human integrity, highlighting individuals who struggle and persevere with the very idea in his documentaries. Today on The Treatment, Rofé talks sitting down with Lorena Bobbitt for the first time in 2017 to reopen her unforgettable 1993 scandal, discussing the role that John Wayne Bobbitt played both in Lorena's life and the Amazon docuseries as well as examining the stagnation of true progress in women's rights and the culture of sexual harassment from 1993 to 2019.
