A harrowing yet loving survivor profile and psychological study.
Honest, brutal, personal--it's unlike any documentary you've ever seen before.
Synopsis
- E. Sue Blume, Secret Survivors
Honesty.
It is the only tool through which we will understand the mindset of someone who has quite literally been through hell -- years of abuse followed by denial and cover-up by those who surrounded her.
This is not the story of what happened. This is the story of who she is now -- and will be in the future.
Why We Are Making It
Vijay Rajan
I want this film to be achingly real to the women who are undergoing or underwent the trials this film portrays -- and also to the men who love those women. The film will only end in triumph if Elisabeth finds her way to hope and healing. It is a scary road with only one guarantee: honesty.
Elisabeth K.
I want this film to shed light on the fact that incest rape is very much a horrible reality for many women, happening more often than many realize. I hope sharing my story will be a catalyst for women who are also suffering, an insight for the men they are dating, and a healing step for many.
I:Scintilla
I believe the empathetic truth of this film will help raise awareness of the shattering effects of rape and incest that too many endure. Through voice we can begin to actively fight this silent but ever present epidemic and promote a realistic discussion to help many overcome their abuse. We are honored to be a part of this documentary.
