Sexual abuse of children can occur within the family, be it nuclear or extended, or with a friend of the family. This compelling documentary introduces viewers to ten women and two men, adult "survivors" of child sexual abuse, who relate how that experience has affected their lives. Each reveals the personal anguish, guilt and recrimination they have experienced; also we learn of the possible long-term ramifications of this often suppressed subject.

"Highly Recommended! From the opening interview that begins with a provocative statement by an adult victim of sexual abuse and throughout this documentary, the feelings and inner emotions of child incest victims are clearly articulated. The program intersperses interviews with abuse victims with those of counseling professionals. Includes both male and female victims, providing the viewer with a multi-dimensional look at the issue. The delivery of this information is efficient and presented in a most believable manner. Throughout the program, the director keeps the camera focused on the victims and on experienced professionals as they relate their experiences. The director uses minimal distracting elements, so that pure feelings, ideas and information are presented. The many on-camera interviews help unravel the huge impact of childhood sexual abuse. They talk of their adult addictions, difficulty with relationships and communication, as well as feelings of depression that have cloaked their everyday life. The impact of the interviews with the eight victims featured in this program is very powerful." EMRO Review
