Storyline

When Heather Walsh accepted a tutoring job on an isolated farm in the Mangatiti Valley in 1985 she had no idea that what first appeared to be paradise, would become a nightmare. For 6 months she would be held captive, raped, and psychologically tortured by a seasoned predator until she made a daring escape. A true New Zealand story.

Review the Movie, not the Subject Matter
30 June 2019 | by Bill846 – See all my reviews

Can't believe the low scores from people criticising the girl's decisions and actions, rather than critiquing the movie. Its not the greatest film I've seen, but its a documentary for goodness sake.

Presumably the same people would give "Titanic" a low score because the ship sank.
