These poor men....as children, and what they endured.
Conned by supposedly caring teachers and adults, it's too clear from their halting and tearful recounting of the progression of their abuse.
From flattery to the idolization of sports figures, unfortunately the British public school system...particularly the live-in boys are little more than an abuse factory creating and fostering the VERY conditions that these predators relish.
I was tearful at the end and felt for these men having to reveal..publicly...what they had shamed themselves into silence all these years.
I can't imaging the strength of character that it took to go on this programme and talk about what happened to them...in detail.
I admire them and applaud their strength.....if only more would reveal what they know.
Definitely a must-see for ANY PARENT.....you never know what your child might be exposed to.

An incredible piece of film-making
cageybird16 October 2016
Words can barely convey the depth of feeling in this documentary. The fact that it was difficult to find on IMDb is a travesty. Three of the bravest men I have ever seen on film, and the director allows them to speak, and react, direct to the camera. Brutal, honest, the most searing account of childhood sexual abuse that I have ever seen. Should be compulsory viewing for anyone in the Social Work field. I can only thank the film-makers for presenting the stories as they are, for not flinching, for forcing us to watch and participate in every word. A stellar piece of unobtrusive film-making - allowing the antagonists to make the film.. These men are my heroes.
