A conservative Indo-Canadian family in small-town British Columbia must come to terms with a devastating secret: three sisters were sexually abused by an older relative beginning in their childhood years. After remaining silent for nearly two and a half decades, the sisters decide to come forward—not only to protect other young relatives, but to set an example for their daughters as well.
Following the film, there will be a Q&A with filmmaker, Baljit Sangra, and film subjects Jeeti, Kira and Salakshana.
