How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A searing indictment of institutional cruelty and religious hysteria, this film documents the systematic torture and execution of innocent women with an unflinching eye. It's a bleak, infuriating experience that uses historical detail to indict how easily authority destroys the vulnerable.
