Three Girls

Same sort of covering up and looking other way has been done right across Europe. In Sweden for example it wasn't just ONE festival where women were r@ped by "vibrant" people, it happened a number of times and the police weren't even including it in their post event reports, it was only after the Cologne backlash and a rare bout of investigative reporting by journalists probing it that the truth came out. Germany has done similar things. There is at least hope for Germany, from what I've read about their politics and media, Sweden appears to be a lost cause..

The serial showed how many people tried to bring this to the attention of the authorities but it was not followed up due to the difficulties of prosecuting those involved... even with DNA evidence! Amazing that it took years to go to trial and even when it did, what a harrowing experience for the girls having to deal with one solicitor after another (one for each of the accused). Brave girls indeed to relive what had already been ignored in the past.

It was broadcast on Arte recently .
