Festival history

tells the story of Kainat Soomro as she takes her rape case to Pakistan’s deeply flawed court system in hopes of getting justice. The 13-year-old Kainat accuses four men of gang rape and shortly after is ordered to be killed by her village elders. Filmed over four years, the story is told through the perspective of Kainat and the four men accused of her rape. Unless many girls like her, she has the support from her family.
