I found the film well produced, engaging, and moving. It's pathetic that these elderly women have to ask for an apology. It should have been given decades ago. Many of them have kept this terrible secret all their lives. Many have been consumed with shame. So the courage it takes for them to speak out at last and to take action -- it's mind-boggling. I am also blown away by the younger women who are side-by-side with them, encouraging them, helping, listening. They are like the survivors of the death camps in Europe: the last witnesses to brutality some would like to forget. It's important that their stories are remembered.
