Trauma is nasty. It’s a brutal, horrifying journey into ultimate atrocity related to a corrupt Chilean gov't militia. This is a highly unnerving film that is focused on inhuman acts inflicted on others, which are completely void of emotion and remorse.

Overall this is a disgusting and disturbing movie and I probably wouldn't recommend it... It's not one of the better made ones that have a really interesting take-away.
