Childhood sexual abuse, an invisible and shattering crime to body and soul now, finally emerges from its crypt of secrets and silence. In recent years, the redemptive light of justice and compassion has begun to expose this hidden horror within our culture. Survivors are speaking out. Perpetrators are being named and convicted. Understanding begins to replace pervasive denial. Feature-length documentary "Boyhood Shadows: I Swore I'd Never Tell" is an electrifying milestone in bringing healing and transparency to this darkness suffered by countless innocents in our society. Award winning filmmakers Terri DeBono and Steve Rosen have produced a compelling and sensitive film that gives fresh urgency to this issue through the voices of grown men who speak out about the experiences. The wide-spread violation of trust and abuse of individual children and their families extends to the larger community as well. Directly or indirectly, all of us are victimized by perpetrators of these crimes. The effects ripple throughout the culture. With increased awareness comes release, healing and greater protection for vulnerable ones. Paradoxically, Boyhood Shadows is an uplifting film that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit. These men touch the heart with their honesty, their hard-won wisdom and their commitment to changing how the world perceives and responds to this deeply troubling problem.
