Sins of Silence (1996 TV Movie)
10/10
Great movie! Sad but with very strong characters.
20 January 2001
This movie is about a poor girl who gets raped by a well respected, rich creep and her struggle for justice. The girl is only 16 years old, although she is played by lovely Holly Marie Combs who was 22 at the time, and they never do bring the fact that she is a minor up in court which I found a little strange. She goes to a rape-victim center for help and to talk. The defense later wants to bring the documented chats up in court against her. The movie really shows how twisted society is, the victim is looked upon as a criminal accusing the poor rapist of horrible crimes, just wanting some sort of attention. Anyway, the movie is very good even though it might sound like a boring trial movie but it is really strong and very watchable.

Unless you are looking for a movie to glance at from time to time, I definitely recommend it.
