"It's been 25 years and there is so little I remember. I can not remember the police investigation and I can not remember the trial. I have never talked to my parents about the rape, but it is always there anyway. "
What do they remember about the rape and the two trials? How has what happened to her affected others? A film about living with the memories and the courage to start talking, about no longer sidestep questions about guilt, responsibility and atonement. To move ahead in life.
Dare Remember is an exceptionally brave documentary film that put words to what has been hushed. About meeting what you prefer to forget.
A movie about moving forward.
