Sisters in Law

You wouldn't think a film about women and children being beaten and raped would be uplifting and joyful, but I swear it mostly is. Through these two women we see cases of girls and women abused in various ways and coming to the system for help, and the small successes of a system and the slow march of progress and hope. I'm sure for every good outcome we see here there are dozens of cases that go unreported or where the accused goes free but the reminder of hope for a future is powerful.

"A film with inadequate research but one that makes a ferocious case capped with a hopeful closing statement." - Ed Gonzalez
