 -town British Columbia must come to terms with a devastating secret: three
  sisters were sexually abused by an older relative beginning in their chil
 dhood years. After remaining silent for nearly two and a half decades\, th
 e sisters decide to come forward—not only to protect other young relativ
 es\, but to set an example for their daughters as well.\n\nDocumentarian B
 aljit Sangra sensitively explores the impact of sexual abuse on a family\,
  turning her empathetic lens on intimate moments in the family’s life. F
 ull of nuance and layers\, Because We Are Girls weaves poetically betwee
 n past and present\, darkness and light. We witness the emotional toll tha
 t pursuing justice through the courts and confronting their family for not
  protecting them as children takes on the sisters. But we also share in th
 eir happiness as they bond with their daughters and dance along to their f
 avourite Bollywood songs. As the film deftly intertwines touching home foo
 tage of the young\, innocent girls they once were alongside uplifting scen
 es of the strong\, empowered women they have become\, the family’s uncon
 ditional love flows freely through it all.\n\nStraying from typical portra
 its of the journey to healing\, Because We Are Girls offers a unique and
  powerful tribute to women’s strength in the face of profound trauma.
