Rape

"Rape: A Love Story" begins with what is almost unspeakable. It tells of the brutality and cowardice that overtakes the city of Niagara Falls in the aftermath of an attack on a woman and her young daughter. A diamond-hard dissection of modern mores, "Rape: A Love Story" is more than the story of Teena and Bethie and their insolent assailants. It is also the tale of their silent champion - a man who knows the meaning of justice. And love.
