"Women under Attack"

Paper Summary:

The author states that in "Women under Attack", the viewers are subjected to some of the most horrific subject matter that any woman can witness, rape. The paper discusses that the rape of women, children, the land, each other, all are forms of basic primal dominance by men who are horribly deformed inside but wield a power that is used to brutally destroy any resistance, no matter how logical, to them. The author believes that movies like "Women Under Attack" show us what the culture does, what it is doing but not what the culture should be doing.

From the Paper:

"I experienced a truly mixed reaction to the film. There is the detached disgust that documentaries allow you to feel. There is the disturbing reality that such a subject should be presented to the world in a journalistic manner rather than in a great tidal wave of rioting and destruction of all things male. And, there is the feeling of a tight fear that a woman does not have to be Bosnian to have her rights stripped from her and her life torn apart by the ultimate violation of her body and person."
