It is heartbreakingly difficult to watch, but will hopefully educate the world that turns a blind eye to what is happening to girls and women around the world.
I look forward to the second half tonight.
Please watch and encourage everyone you know to watch.

I tried to watch it and couldn't, but it is important so I will go back and watch it.

be done to places where something is being done.
The second half was also excellent. I hope many, many people watch this.
