Leah Purcell has simply outdone herself, completely! I am so grateful that the time has finally come to allow women's voices to be heard without the filter of a man's perspective. This film is just that and it does so brilliantly. Only women can truly tell about the plight of being women in a world where about 70% of the men hate women, and about 30% of them don't even know that they do, and are too ignorant to ever come to the realization that they do.
This film addresses all the horrors that men inflict on women, and the present and coming 'Come to Jesus' reckoning that men are and will experience even more, till it stops. Right now, men still run things and believe that they can continue to abuse women, abuse people of color, burn women alive in the streets after calling her and adulterer in some countries, and destroy the lives of women and the children that they father and abandon, abuse and molest with no consequences. That is all a lie that is coming to an end, and this film is a solid announcement of same. Purcell announces that boldly and clearly in this film, and we are all the better for it if we listen, including the men who don't know any better. They will live to see another day if they learn, change and teach their children better.
A few inconsistencies, like the music. Black is the color of my true love's hair may not have been around during this time period, but we can forgive that.
I am so happy that the re-victimization of women and people of color by romanticizing the exploits and abuse of white men is being portrayed for exactly what it is, abuse, exploitation and victimization. Not one thing more, just evil.
Bravo to Purcell and all involved for this masterpiece!
