Secret Sounds Screaming
The Sexual Abuse of Children
A film by Ayoka Chenzira
1986, 30 minutes, Color, VHS
Order No. W99154
This sharp, creatively produced tape uses a tapestry of voices to examine the sexual abuse of young people. Children and teenagers, parents, social workers and community activists as well as abusers themselves speak out, revealing the power dynamics of child abuse within the context of race and class. Focusing on societal attitudes, frustrations of the legal process and the media’s eroticization of children, the tape reveals the scars and survival journeys of survivors and provides suggestions for educating young people. A crucial multi-cultural perspective on child abuse from the maker of the classic HAIR PIECE.
