In the film you see footage from the time but then you see the children as adults and the detectives who worked on the case and the toll its taken on their spirits - its etched into them in a way that is viscerally affecting above and beyond anything they say. And juxtaposing this is the footage of a single unaffected, sickly smiling, moral vacuum at its centre. And the contrast is so jarring that even the light and redemption that is won out for some in the end seems heart breakingly fragile. If you can face it I would be interested to hear your reaction because this is one i found hard to put in a neat box of words at the end.

If it's anything like the one I saw, and there've several on this particular cult, it's the total breakdown of sexual boundaries that is really hard to take. Those poor children. Did this have the footage of little, little children learning to dance like, um, strippers? Because I'm still not over that.LaVaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147322061125012346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766906560812521746.post-22040453842699430292016-12-06T13:58:41.194-05:002016-12-06T13:58:41.194-05:00Yes I found this documentary was even harder to ta...Yes I found this documentary was even harder to take in parts than Prophet's Prey. There's a point where the inhumanity passes some kind of sound barrier that it becomes hard to put any kind of sensible words to.
