Movie Haiku:Linor Abargil was a candidate for "Miss World" when she was brutally raped by someone she thought was a colleague. The Italians would do nothing, but the Israelis arrested him when they both got home. Doc focuses on her attempt to recover by acting as an advocate for other women, but as the rapist comes close to parole, Linor fragments. A strong case for speaking out.
