Liberian author Elma Shaw guides us through her nation’s brutal civil war and the conflicting roles that Liberians played in the destruction of their small, West African nation. Many women served as combatants in rebel factions and were both the victims and perpetrators of unspeakable atrocities. This documentary short is a beautiful and moving tale of the journey these women must make as they resolve to either seek revenge against those who stole their childhoods, or seek forgiveness and reintegration into their communities. They courageously choose to release the darkness in their souls by sharing their intimate stories, in order to, in the words of one, “become a human being”.
