I Am Still Here (2017)
I think some may have missed the point...

As a sexual violence crisis worker and victim advocate, this movie hit me hard. What some have seen as poor acting, I saw as innocence played incredibly well by mere children. I felt the main character portrayed the confusion and brokenness so well. By midway through the movie, I'd forgotten I was watching a reenactment. What some saw as a so-called "romantic" relationship between a victim and her abusive captor, played to me as the exact words a pimp would use to reel in and keep girls under lock and key. So much of this movie mirrored actual accounts I myself have heard. It hurt my heart, watching it play out with such young girls. Sadly; it happens just like this movie portrayed, in every city, everyday.
