Men and women who have lived hard lives and retained their humanity are maybe the best defenders that abused children can possibly find. This works on a few levels, such as, a bunch of bikers randomly appearing as “guardian angels” in the background of a formerly abusive situation. The message is clear: “Don’t mess with our friend, here. Hands off. We are not fooling.”
PS: Have you heard of the film called “Black Snake Moan?” It’s very rough and raw, but very uplifting in the end.
This is a pretty crummy synopsis, but it will do. It’s clear in the movie that the female protagonist’s problems resulted from her chronic abuse as a very young girl.
The two old black men are like the BACA bikers in the film.
I guess that is why my dad taught me to fight, so I could be my own guardian angel. I would have been raped on a business trip in Philadelphia when I was in my twenties, had I not been able to take him out.
