They were once roses, but they were forced to grow thorns.
What kind of stings and explosions lurk beneath the gentle surface?
"A Thorn on a Rose: An Investigation into Crimes Against Women in China" is a documentary file that directly faces contemporary women's crimes.
Behind those female crimes that shock society, there is often a long history of victimization:
At the age of 18, she was trafficked by her parents, suffered humiliation at the hands of the "buyer", and finally took revenge on her birthday night with a knife;
The wife who endured domestic violence for 20 years lit the gas while her husband was sleeping and died in the cage;
She is a gold medal lawyer and a victim of sexual assault. She steps towards fraud, just to avenge power...
Data show that 68% of female offenders have long-term victimization experiences;
The trauma of the original family is always there, and financial and emotional dependence often give rise to "fatal housewives".
We have in-depth interviews with women who have gone from victims to perpetrators, uncovering the unknown criminal psychology behind them:
Long-term domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment - when gentleness is trampled on and reason is wiped out, does revenge become the only outlet?
How do the trauma of the original family and the twisted bondage of family ties push people to the cliff of extreme behavior?
Under the pressure of money and power, are they forced to take risks?
When love becomes a tool for manipulation and marriage becomes a script of betrayal, can tenderness remain bloodless?
This is not a distant case, this is the reality around us.
Thorns are not born. It was forced out bit by bit.
