How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A harrowing account of systematic abuse that culminates in an act of desperate self-assertion. The film is unflinching about the slow accumulation of violence and the institutional indifference that leaves a woman with no other way out.
