The opening segment of this movie shoots the rape scene from the eyes of the 10 year old victim. You see the two men tying her up, one of them getting undressed, and them thrusting on top of her. It is not particularly graphic, and there is no nudity, but it is very emotionally disturbing. Blood is seen on her body.
