Moriom

Moriom

Somewhere in rural Bangladesh: something’s wrong
with Moriom, but what is it? Talking to her counsellor,
with a camera pointed at her, she alleges that her parents
torture her and keep her chained up. Her parents,
however, claim Moriom suffers from a major trauma.
Most crimes against women and girls in Bangladesh
are not reported and the rape figures that appear
before closing credits are shocking.
