An Important Film that needs to be Seen.

Sofian's Truth Has Fallen lifts the veil on the woefully underreported abuses being done even now in our name by a flawed Justice System. She focuses on the heroic people who refuse to accept this state of affairs. The lawyers and common people who fight for those wrongfully incarcerated. It's masterful use of animated images disarms the gravity of the message. This makes it's important points in an easily palatable way. Much of the words are in the victims own words or from interview transcripts. Sofian has made a very personnel statement about a very important topic. I think The Truth Has Fallen is a film who's value will grow with time. Bravo. A great film.
