I had a look at this and you've obviously gone for a challenging topic. I didn't get very far because it is difficult to stick with.

The multiple introductions in flashback near the start make for a hard to get into story. It doesn't hit the ground running and we don't get a clean idea early on what the central core of the story is going to be. Who is the protagonist? 15 pages in I couldn't tell you.

I know it is almost a cliche on this website but if you have the option to get screenwriting software it really does make the process way easier.
