Ratings and reviews

This is a topic that touches everyones life in one way or another. It is a sad story, but one we had to tell. By starting this conversation is a step in the right direction in helping. Because saying this would never happen to you or someone you love, is something that happened to me. This is why I helped make this documentary. It is a hard thing to cope with and my healing process began in the making of this film. The more you are educated, the more you can help others and yourself.
