Excellent film & actors, which I've told all my friends & family about. First, I didn't know the story was based on fact. The humiliation and cruelty that these girls were subjected to made even me want to become violent against their attackers. Shocking & sad, I'd hoped for a happier ending (see first sentence), but I know that life isn't always that way. This is a good time for people to see this or watch it again, since cruelty is all to prevalent in our world. I happened to watch this on TV, an alternative to watching our President make another boring insincere speech. I'm glad I did. I think. At the end of the film, I was spent and heartsick because of all that the girls had to endure.
