Small Small Thing (2013)

Small Small Thing: Directed by Jessica Vale. With Leymah Gbowee, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Louis Johnson, Dannetha Sampson. A look at the high profile case of Liberian Olivia Zinnah, who died in 2012 of complications from a rape that occurred when she was just 7 years old.

“Itu0026#39;s shocking that even in this day and age little girls and women are still being raped and government and police officials donu0026#39;t bring the men to appropriate justice. Hearing and watching the story of Olivia, the 7 year old child who was raped and lived with her injuries for the rest of her short life was sickening. Her family including her father abandoning her, she lived a life of little happiness. Her injuries making her to frightened to even eat, because eating caused poop to leak through her vagina, she was told she was dirty and no other children were allowed to even play with her. Her government, seemingly caring, causes her much hardship and in the end she lost everything. Horrific and tragic story of this little child and many others like her. This documentary deserves multiple awards!!”
