Heartbreaking, inspiring, breathtakingly beautiful, crucial tale to tell and be heard, masterfully made. Should be shown in EVERY school…
What’s more:
There are no shortage of brilliant documentaries made every year about a plethora of important subjects, and nearly every one of them worthy of our time, attention and praise. You may sometimes feel you can’t see them all, can’t watch and them and feel the heartbreak. I know I do. Please try. This is so important.
The tales of these nine girls will fill you with so many emotions. The documentary is so very well made, mixing narrators, film styles and tone to best tale each story. The graphics and statistics that seem to be requisite to any documentary are here and well presented, but it is the humanity and inhumanity on display that are the most captivating methods of expressing the reality for these girls. Their tales will hopefully be the call to action that is most assuredly needed.
With so many tales of injustice perpetuated on one half of the human population, it’s actually hard to come up with coherent thoughts to express all of the feelings this movie stirs up. The most lasting thought that kept rebounding in my brain through the whole film, though, was simply, “What year is it? How can this still be the story?”
Please watch…
