Channel: Solid shows, feels films & great games
Date: 2011-01-02

There are no spoilers in this. I made this as much for those who have not watched it yet as for those who have. There is no swearing in this review, for those bothered by such.

I recorded this today right after having watched it. I hope you enjoy it, and that I can help spark debate about the film.

This is a pure one-taker, so occasionally, I pause, misspeak or begin a sentence without ending it. If you either really prefer this approach for future videos or prefer me to edit them, *please* post your opinion, and I will see which is preferred.

I do not move my arms and gesture in this, as I've gotten some feedback about it being distracting. If you feel strongly about it either way, please let me know.

As usual, any and all feedback is very welcome. 

Spoilers below, the following will help you understand the film but is best read after watching it.



A translation of what the back of the cover says:

During the civil war in the former Jugoslavia, around 20.000 women were systematically raped by the Serbian soldiers. This led to unwanted pregnancies and psychological traumas for the women in question. They continue to live with mental anguish and are daily reminded of the torments they were forced to endure.
