Film synopsis: When the women of an isolated colony of strictly religious people decide that something must be done to protect their children, the decision is not easy for a small number of women to make for all of the women: they have to either forgive their attackers, or stay and fight, or leave. Based on the 2018 novel by Miriam Toews, which was loosely based on real-life events that took place at a Bolivian Mennonite colony
