Sins of the Past

This is the frightening true story of a rape and its terrible aftermath.

The film shows the reality of people haunted by the past, running from reality, keeping secrets buried inside their souls, and living out self-hate, blaming themselves for the wrongs done by others.

The story centers around two wounded people join together to heal as best as they can. This is powerful stuff. Be prepared to be very moved.

Greater love hath no man than to keep his own brother from harming others.
