Having never heard of this film, I was skeptical. However, once I sat down to watch I couldn't take my eyes off of it. It is an intricately woven tale that grips you from the beginning. Even moreso amazing is that the movie is based on real events. It is a graphic and shocking story but necessary in illuminating the events that occur in places like this. Love this film!
