CGiii Comment

Child slavery, child abuse...done in the name of religion and charity...and, endorsed by governments.

God and Government, two institutions that are usually opposed...but, when they get together...all hell breaks loose.

Each and all should be congratulated...this is an emotional rollercoaster controlled by the most competent of directors...and, beautifully played.

Cry like you have never cried before.

Bless them...bless them all.
