Rewind

Incredibly well made film, especially considering the topic.

Dear lord I cried when that therapist guy talked about the yamaka, and several other times.

In this documentary, filmmaker Sasha Neulinger takes a brave, bold, and personal look at issues of familial child sexual abuse through his lens and the lens of his father, a videographer who scrupulously filmed family events around the same time as the abuse occurred. As a survivor, Neulinger shines a light on how this abuse can be passed down through generations, even among families that appear "normal" and successful. He also explores the ways in which the criminal justice system re-victimizes the survivor in its attempt to address the issue. Disturbing as the content may be, this film is definitely worth watching for anyone concerned about this important topic.

Unlike other documentaries on this subject, like LEAVING NEVERLAND, this film spends the time to show evidence and the full emotional impact of its circumstances and the people effected. Most importantly this film discusses the cycle of abuse which sadly remains absent from so many other abuse documentaries. And does all of this while having the director's voice and yet without forcing your opinion of the people involved. Truly it's about the devastating gray area of abuse, not the black and white.

This was a well done documentary. In fact it is one of the best I have seen lately. It is organized and concise, unlike the others I have seen lately.

Of course the subject matter is upsetting. I'm sure too many families can relate to this. The encouraging side is Sasha. Even during Sasha's darkest times, he did not follow the pattern. He grew up to be a fine, decent, strong and highly intelligent man.. Good for him! I hope he is proud of that fact.

Very insightful, moving & sometimes hard to watch. A very well made document of what seemed a fairly normal family.
