As If I Am Not There (2010)
Very hard to watch
This movie is indeed very hard to watch, but this story does deserve to tell the story of what these women went through. Most of us didnt even know this kind of brutality existed. Its so easy to completely forget about what happens to the women and children during war. Most mainstream movies focus of the soldiers point of view and only touch briefly on what the women endured. Some have never talked about what they went through for fear of being shamed. Others had no choice but to acknowledge what they went through when they were released pregnant. These women had a reminder of what happened to them everytime they laid their eyes on their child. Goes to show the brutality on the victims of war that affect well beyond the end of a war. It affects the child when(or if) they find out the nature of their conception. They were born of brutality and suffering.
