 "The salience of this topic to the State College and Penn State communities, together with Mr. Brown’s reasons for making the film made for a highly personal discussion."

"And that’s the best thing about this movie, made by a childhood abuse victim about other abuse victims."
- Eric's Cynical Cinema

"One of the stated purposes of this documentary is to change the legislation regarding the statute of limitations.

realization that a man who he trusted totally had abused
three of his six children."
