Dessvärre innehåller den obehagliga scener med sexuella övergrepp. När män skriver om sexuella övergrepp mot kvinnor blir det ofta inte bra o det är sant även här. Mycket besviken då den började bra.

Väldigt bra! Nyanserat och inträngande om religion, politik och samhälle under 1970-talet, ser verkligen emot fortsättningen…
