The documentary features rare archival footage
and explores the least known part of their lives - the failed
marriages, broken families, and personal anguish which marred
their adult years. Raised in isolation, cut off from
normal family life, they were unprepared to be wives or mothers.
Full Circle shows how the sisters have emerged from
poverty and obscurity to fight the government and win.
But their ultimate victory lies in their renewed sense of
self and purpose.
