We Are the Ashes, We Are the Fire

This was an amazing story on how one recovers from the trauma (rape) of her loved one and how she manages her rage towards the men that get away with it. It still felt like it was missing something, i think it was the fact that they never actually got any justice but all in all i love how they used it as an opportunity to show women that we need to support and protect one another and stand for what is right.
