What happens when a rape victim discovers she is pregnant? Does she carry on with the pregnancy or does she abort the “rape child’? How does her husband react when she decides to keep the baby? What makes her want to interact with her rapist, now waiting to meet the hanging rope? Rape is often filmed through strategically composed lighting, carefully choreographed shots, sound effects, visual metaphors of props and property and so on.
