    475: Break the Silence

    Hind BENSARI 2013 France Documentary color 47min French Blu-ray
    In March 2012, Amina Fillali, a 16 year old girl from a small town in Morocco took her own life by swallowing rat poison after she married the man who raped her. Compelling young women—including minors—to marry their rapists is a practice that is not only socially legitimized but legally enshrined. The young Moroccan female director decided to enable the survivors and Moroccan society to tell their stories firsthand.
