Crushed Wings (2021)
Moving, heartfelt and a learning experience!
As a woman living in the Philippines, a conservative country, and religion as the basis of morality,
I feel this movie. Although some cultural practices or traditions may differ, I can still relate to the
stigma when it comes to female sexuality. How a woman's purity and worth are based on their
genitalia, and women are nothing more but the bearer of the children and servant for the
husband.
The scenes are depicted strongly and very moving! It can be an eye-opener for children's rights,
women empowerment, and sexual violence. I love how they showcase the scenes realistically as
possible. It can strike a conversation. I believe that these things happen and need to talk about
more often. When it comes to consent in terms of FGM, it gives in-depth detail about the said
practice. It can affect a person and can cause trauma. A traumatic experience can last a lifetime.
Ria's narratives are heartfelt. Her dialogue is relatable and easy to understand that's why you can
empathize with her. Her symbolisms and metaphors are interesting that makes her dialogue
more catching. As she walks through life alone, you can feel her despair and longing for answers.
All in all, I can say that this can be used to open taboo and stigma-related topics.
