My main idea of creating this page was not only to pay tribute to a remarkable, and very powerful movie - but, to also provide links and resources for those who have survived child abuse or especially, those still needing help. I'm not an expert, nor have I lived through the experiences portrayed in the film, I am just someone who was deeply moved by the film and just trying to make a small difference. Also I owe a big thanks to the people who contributed to this page and cheered me along in it's progress - without you, it couldn't have been created as it was.Thank you so much!! Kim
