Winner: Truth to Power Documentary Award, Reel Asian International Film Festival
"Shot over the course of 10 years, we know that the intimacy and depth we witness on the screen, is a reflection of the real relationship and dedication between the filmmaker and her subject. Like a friend, we share in the joy of seeing her grow and flourish. As we probe into the trauma of her past, we are initially met with a silence, so much more powerful than words. And when the horror is finally revealed to us, when our hearts are broken and angered, we are shown that hope and love prevails."
