This documentary uses a mixed expository and linear narrative structure to tell the true stories of abuse victims breaking their silence. Various camera techniques like close-ups, pans, tilts, and zooms are used to draw attention to important elements. The mise-en-scene and locations establish settings and power dynamics between victims and abusers. Sound effects involving bells, guitar, and harp convey religious and emotional themes.
