Wow! This was one hell of an intense movie. It pretty much took you directly to this time and made you sit through some incredibly uncomfortable stuff. The direction was amazing and the performances were top notch too. I left the theater beyond annoyed at the world that something like this could have happened and honestly continues to happen on a regular basis.
I would absolutely recommend that everyone check this bad boy out. It is an absolute must see from both a society/historical view point. It's also an excellent example of filmmaking at its best. Just be prepared to be very uncomfortable watching it.
