Such an important topic...but no one can see it?

I think it's amazing that this documentary was made, and that everyone involved was so courageous and brave enough to come forward with their stories. It's message that needs to be heard, because not enough people know about this problem.

The bit I don't understand is why it isn't easily accessible? These poor people put everything into making/appearing in this documentary in hope that people will start thinking a little differently..but no one can see it!

I think that's disgusting. This should be on YouTube, Netflix - just easily accessible!

If anyone knows of any links that don't involved 'sign-ups', please post below. Thank you.

Quickly deleted, but I've seen it too from the above link. It's finally leaking at least.

I quickly found it on youtube, which is not good, it means someone posted it there, and they are getting no money from the views, why would you want it on youtube? I would rather pay for it.

The Hollywood big wigs don't want this documentary to be seen.

I did see it and it is indeed an eye-opener. It explains so much as why we hear about child actors having issues with drugs and alcohol, and the early deaths of some. And it shows that predators are not easy to spot.

Heartbreaking and infuriating for the victims.

Watched it today - The way Marty tried to put the blame on Evan..saying he 'showed an interest' was particularly disturbing.

Yep, that is what may pedophiles and rapists claim, and they even think that what they're doing isn't morally wrong (even they know it's against the law). Did you see at the end that Weiss is lobbying to try to lighten sex offender laws in California? The creep only served six months for molested Evan Henzi for several years. He already got off easy!

I know the "Child Actor Protection Act" has since been passed, but it doesn't do much about the predators who are already working in the industry, and it's possible that many of them will not have any kind of criminal record. Sure, it's a step in the right direction but more needs to be done.
