Based on true experiences of Amish and Mennonite survivors of abuse, it paints a disturbing image of how complicit entire communities can be in victim-blaming and perpetuating a cycle of exploitation. The film title is a little misleading because the eponymous sin knows no religious or socio-economic boundaries.
The film opens with a still montage and the only sound a male voice seemingly soothing a child, It continues long enough for the viewer to glimpse the chilling reality of what the person attached to that voice is doing
All the characters are spot on and well-portrayed by the cast from the naive protagonist to the pious bishop to the stern parents with their misguided beliefs in who is the source of their daughter's problem.
Definitely worth a watch.
