Millions Watched Me Fall

Synopsis

Because we are poor, my younger sister gives up her chance at an education so I can stay in school. As a child, she goes on a strict diet and take on part-time jobs to help support our family and make ensure I have enough for tuition. Years later, when I return with a college degree, I repay her by throwing her out of the house. The blow hits our mother so hard that she ends up dead. When court officials come knocking, I am lounging in my husband’s arms, nibbling on fruit flown in from overseas. They asked me what I have to say for myself. I offer them just one sentence. “She had it coming.” The proceedings are broadcast live. Millions have watched and condemned me. If not for the screen between us, they may have torn me apart.
