How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lurid descent into institutional cruelty wrapped in religious hypocrisy, where a woman's search for truth about her mother's death becomes a ordeal of exploitation and abuse. The film wields its sensationalism as a lens onto power, corruption, and the violence hidden behind sacred walls.
