Japan has probably the most screwed up crimes and acts of torture ever recorded in history.
Even if you forget all the stuff they did during World War 2(a lot of the worse they did to their own citizens and is far worse then anything else during that war. Yeah, the Nazis killed a lot more, but the Japanese did unimaginable things, stuff usually when describe in just very general detail makes people sick. It must be the worse horrors ever physically done to humans during that war), stuff in America like Sylvia Likens which this film is based off of are rather tame compared to some similar horrors that have occurred in Japan with young girls being tortured.
Junko Furuta for example was not only rape and tortured for 44 days by 4 teenagers, but they forced her to call her parents and tell them everything was alright while doing so. She was forced to pretend she was a girlfriend of one of her captures whenever the parents of the boy that was holding her were around. They eventually beat her with an iron bar, then lit her on fire and let her burn, but that didn't kill her. She didn't die till days after they hard tried to burn her alive from her injuries. And then once she was dead put her in a barrel and filled it with concrete. I think all but one are now today free having served some time.
Probably worse then Junko Furuta and Sylvia Likens is what happened in England to Suzanne Capper. I won't go into details, you can look it up if you really want to, but hers is probably worse because there were so many chances for others to intervene who simply looked away. Even in the end, when she was lit on fire and left in a field, her captors believing she was dead, she wasn't. Three guys driving to work found her conscious and drove her to a nearby house while waiting for an ambulance. While she was very polite and thanking everyone who was trying to help her, she was in such bad shape she couldn't even hold a glass of water to drink. She was able to name the 6 people responsible for the atrocity and give an address while in the ambulance but slipped into a coma before making it to the hospital and never woke up. Her parents could not even identify her, and because of how badly burned she was, they were only able to use a partial thumb print on her one hand to positively make sure she was Suzanne Capper.
