Movie Haiku:Daccache is a Lebanese Drama Therapist who took cameras into a Beirut prison where she filmed women accused of crimes & then held for years with no trial dates & therefore no convictions. Meanwhile their children grow up with no mother & their mothers grow old without the support of their daughters. Stunning, heart-wrenching & beautifully-told doc!
