In the early 1980s, I watched a foreign movie about two girls who traveled to South Africa or the western United States, were illegally detained, and finally escaped from the jaws of death.

I'm afraid few people know about this film. This is an early American film called Nightmare. The American film 1976 was introduced to China in the early 1980s, and it is hard to find it now.

The story of the film is that two female college students, Cathy, a white girl, and Diane, a black girl, drive to the south during the summer vacation, pass by a small town and meet Beam, a white bully sheriff. They just made a joke and offended the sheriff. It was really bad luck. He arrested them for "trespassing on private land", fined them heavily, raped Diane, and accused them of prostitution and forced labor for 30 days. They were cruelly treated. Finally, Diane was shot and killed by Liang to cover Cathy's phone call home.
