A powerful ninety minute documentary detailing the systemic abuse and subsequent cover ups that went on for decades inside the scouts.
I watched this from the point of view of being a boy scout many years back, a time for me which was one of learning, socialising and fun, you can only imagine the horrors faced by these men.
Some incredibly powerful testimonies from victims, and input from those that were involved in The Scouts also, several conflicts in accounts, very interesting.
If you're able to get through this without sobbing, feeling shocked, or feeling positively sick in your stomach, then I'd argue that something is maybe a little wrong.
It's well made, but one criticism I have, is the deliberate attempt to add a bit of antagonism between to of the interviewees, I didn't think it was necessary given the harrowing topic.
It's an outrageous story, genuinely sickening, it makes you wonder how many other organisations were as rotten at their core.
8/10.
