The way, the only way, to break the cycle of trauma is to face it, name it, and bring it into the light. Which is precisely what Sasha Neulinger has done here, in harrowing detail.
Neulinger documents his adolescence and lays bare the generations of silence that led to his own being yet another in a line of sexual abuse. The futility of a trial held against a powerful perpetrator is contrasted against the work the director, and others, have done in easing the plight of victims coming forward. The film maker’s parents, younger sister, childhood therapist, and others do a great job of helping to destigmatize talking about these issues.
(I feel I should add, if you or someone you love has been effected by anything like this, get help. Shun the stigma and get help. …And those who gave this film a low rating because of its subject matter, I hope they realize that this is a massive part of what perpetuates cycles of abuse.)
