The man who abused the child most violently got no prison time because he is an elite member of the community while the others got hard time. This is how the world works. If you're wealthy and protected, you are free to destroy the lives of whoever you want to abuse. Society is terminally sick because they protect the worst among us.

I'm so incredibly sorry to Sasha and his sister for the horrific abuse they endured, and no child should ever have to suffer in silence.

You've brought into the light that which has been buried in darkness, and have shone a brilliant light on to the path that can lead to healing and hopefully prevention of this occurring.

Please continue this important and worthwhile work you've done and continue lighting that path for others to find the courage to overcome these abhorrent crimes.

This was such a well-done and intimate story told in the most compelling manner; from start to end I found myself wholly immersed in the tale and filling with anger and rage at these monsters who betrayed this family. The storyline was concise, direct and makes you feel connected.

While it can be a very difficult story to tell and some tend to carry on with melodramatic and labored points- this absolutely gets to the heart and the soul and you're immediately awash in empathy, apathy and rage for these children and hope when you're left with the closure of the final scenes.

Again, a brilliant film and one that should be mandatory viewing for anyone who doubts this could ever happen to them/their children- because it's much easier than anyone wants to believe and within the blink of an eye, your family is thrust into a tumultuous and chaotic place from which few ever emerge unscathed.

A good documentary about some very traumatic childhood events, and the trauma and injustice that came about because of those events.

Bumped it from 3.5/5 to 4/5 when I found out the director was the subject of the film- it makes it more personal (and indeed courageous) that he told this story in an autobiographical fashion.

It is of course a hard watch, and on paper, there are other, similar crime-related documentaries out there, but the personal, autobiographical nature does elevate it. Oh, and the stuff involving Sasha and his great grandfather was some of the most heartwarming stuff I've seen in a movie in a while.

I also thought it utilised old home footage in a far more purposeful and impactful manner than last year's Time.
