Decades later, as memories still haunt her, she paints away her deepest feelings and nightmares onto canvas. Follow this extraordinary journey of a mother’s love for her daughter, and her courageous pursuit of truth and freedom, which is so masterfully depicted through her artwork, historical footage and candid interviews.
