powerless

I wish it was just a movie, I know the evil of human nature can reach this level, but when it really showed me, I was still shocked. At the beginning, the protagonist and others suffered after being caught. They were tortured to extract confessions. They didn't believe that they would be punished for what they didn't do in court. They even played around until the final verdict was handed down... I saw real darkness in those police officers, and they couldn't even see through it. Light, in the protagonist, I see despair, powerlessness, and no hope. Justice finally came, but it came too late, his father couldn't see it, their family was nearly destroyed, fifteen precious years of his life were locked in prison, and the perpetrators of it all went unpunished . I know that this has happened more than once in different places and at different times, and I hope someday the sun will reach all the dark corners.
