It is beautifully filmed and a glimpse at the lives of women who worked back then in the shadows to help other women. But I wish it had been more realistic. They portrayed a saint. There is no real historical account of such a person. These women were making a profit not because they were vultures but because they needed to survive like anyone else and they chose a risky profession where there was a need and I'd like to believe they truly wanted to help other women in the trenches. I wouldnt expect them to be saintly beings. It is a rare human that is. So why couldn't they just tell it like it really was. And also the procedure was probably alot more involved, risky, and complicated at times than they made it look. They really could have dug deeper and given us a more realistic honest portrayal and then in the end maybe listed the stats back then of women affected and fatalities and how treacherous and unsafe the whole process was for women and how vulnerable women were being unable to stand on their own and make decent independent livings. And how everyone along the chain probably profited off their vulnerablilities and suffering. Including psychiatrists and doctors. There were no Vera Drakes or Vernon Drakes. We need to keep help safe and legal and accessible.

Thank you for this Documentary. We'll done. Empowering. More please. For this light in the darkness. For helping try and restore these women's lives after being raped, and raped again, and again by the legal system and by the media. More women in law enforcement please. Many men still see sex as their privilege and right as males in our society. Something they can take. These same men also see women as preying upon men and luring them into the crime as if men have no free will in the matter. When we all know they obviously do. This attitude is fading but still rampant world wide. Therefore these men do not see rape as a crime. When it obviously is. No question. Right. Please more women in law enforcement. Why is it not standard protocol across the board to have women officers and investigators primarily handle all rape and assault cases esp of women and children 🤔. Even as the victim, does a woman need to have legal counsel with her at all times? And when being questioned, even as the victim, do women need to specifically request a female interrogator? What if the woman is young, naively believes she can trust, has just been traumatized, is scared and becomes even more scared because it becomes clear she is not being believed and that now she is being blamed. Not enough women officers? Investigators? How do we fix that 🤔 Are there covert reasons certain specific men are primarily involved in these cases? Can women trust the justice system to uphold the law and protect the innocent and vulnerable. Have they ever been able to? Our daughters. Our mothers. Our sisters. Our neices. Our aunts. Our coworkers. Our neighbors. Our friends. Our Children. Our ancestors. Women. We are not property. We are all vulnerable unless we stand up, stand together, and stop looking away.
