 umbia must come to terms with a devastating secret: three sisters were sex
 ually abused by an older relative beginning in their childhood years. Afte
 r remaining silent for nearly two and a half decades\, the sisters decide 
 to come forward—not only to protect other young relatives\, but to set a
 n example for their daughters as well.\n\nDocumentarian Baljit Sangra sens
 itively explores the impact of sexual abuse on a family\, turning her empa
 thetic lens on intimate moments in the family’s life. Full of nuance and
  layers\, Because We Are Girls weaves poetically between past and presen
 t\, darkness and light. We witness the emotional toll that pursuing justic
 e through the courts and confronting their family for not protecting them 
 as children takes on the sisters. But we also share in their happiness as 
 they bond with their daughters and dance along to their favourite Bollywoo
 d songs. As the film deftly intertwines touching home footage of the young
 \, innocent girls they once were alongside uplifting scenes of the strong\
 , empowered women they have become\, the family’s unconditional love flo
 ws freely through it all.\n\nStraying from typical portraits of the journe
 y to healing\, Because We Are Girls offers a unique and powerful tribute
  to women’s strength in the face of profound trauma.
