Documentaries like this are really disheartening. Listening to the interviews of these girls, their families and the witnesses truly makes you wonder how girls survive in this world.at all. The #metoo movement and the fact that it has to exist is tragic. Situations like this make the #metoo movement seem like a joke. No one is jumping on the band wagon to save these girls after the fact, much less doing anything to prevent it before the fact. This isn’t a story about two girls from the 80s or 90s ... this happened only 8 years ago. These girls were 14 years old! We knew better. We know better. Too much of society just doesn’t care. It’s sad and this is evidence of how f’d up society really is.

Sobering documentary on how a small town can disregard the sexual assault of high school girls in favour of the rapists, the football jocks, and the bullying that persists for the victims. Heartbreaking and maddening. Whilst one can hope the abusers can become better people than the actions they have committed, with repentance and sorrow, there is a need to remember the victims of these crimes and how difficult it is for them to move on. The film details the stories of a few and despite the sadness there is hope.
We must all remember that our actions have consequences. We should not be defined by what we do or what happens to us. We all have a future and life can get better. Speak out against those who hurt you. Protect yourself from harm. Be a good person and treat all others with care and compassion for the human beings they are and the life they possess.
