Milk of Sorrow

This Peruvian movie is a film about ignorance. The girl believes that after her mother had been raped during the years of terrorism her milk infected her. There is a struggle to take her mother to be buried after she dies and she can't afford a proper burial. She works for a wealthy woman and they have a very strange relationship where she is kept in her place but a murky respect. There is a lot of the cultural aspects of this movie I feel that I didn't understand. The sad part that this scenario reminds me of the South Africans who belief that raping virgins is a cure for AIDS. Pure ignorance and a lack of education means millions of people are kept in servitude. Came away sad. It did make me think that it is no wonder religion survives.
