The 'real' villains

Great film, but it made me feel quite sad and angry that Vera went to jail for doing something with entirely good intentions, whereas the men who raped did not suffer any repercussions. They are the villains of this film in my view.

the real villains remains the legal system that punishes those for helping others. Rapists are just a creation of the injustice. Pawns, if you will.

Really? I see rapists more as a creator of injustice. Different strokes...
