An American Crime

Brutal and very hard to watch though this may be, it's well worth watching. It's horrific and unsettling, that one person could do something so awful to someone, let alone a whole group of people, but this film does an excellent job of telling the story, based on a real event and testimony from the trial of Gertrude Baniszewski, a single mom with way too many children, who has absolutely no excuse for treating a young girl (Sylvia Likens, played by Ellen Page) the way she does.
