I Am Elizabeth Smart
Movie • 2017 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
In June 2002, Elizabeth Ann Smart (Alana Boden) was a 14-year-old girl when she was abducted from her Salt Lake City home by religious fanatic Brian David Mitchell (Skeet Ulrich). He brought her to a hilly encampment where, with his twisted accomplice Wanda Barzee (Deirdre Lovejoy), he held Elizabeth captive. She was starved, drugged, raped and subjected to bizarre religious rituals until, nine months later, she enabled her own rescue.

A minor is raped and sexually assaulted, sometimes on camera, although the actual act of rape is obscured; we see a man making physical and verbal advances multiple times. The beginning of the movie contains an extremely emotional scene where the girl can be heard screaming. The minor mentions she was assaulted every day.

Elizabeth resists being called by the name her abductor gives her due to it "being a boy's name"; she uses this excuse to choose her own name.
