Sick people who get a kick out of listening to alleged victims describing graphic child sexual abuse, with unnecessary details which I find baffling for victims to be describing like Jimmy describing the consistency of little Jimmy's bodily fluids in analytical detail like he's teaching biology class, in this detached way, but with smirking and giggling. Why did he even describe that? Was he pushed by the director? And why does anyone want to hear about little Jimmy's penis swelling and putting into a glass of water.
Wade going into detail describing the size comparison of "full adult sized grown-man penis" in his "little 7 year old mouth" like the type of thing a porno would say.
The accusations could have been told without these unnecessary descriptions.
What I watched disturbed me, now I have to have images in my mind that I don't want there, because of Dan Reed.
For some reason Dan Reed, HBO, Channel 4 and all the others think it's ok to be putting descriptive images of children's body parts, and child sexual abuse acts in such details into our minds, even victims who are watching.
The film maker obviously purposely wants to put these images in our minds, that's why it's in such descriptive detail. I bet he pushed them to describe in more detail.
There is a video of someone, allegedly Dan Reed, off camera coaching wade to call Michael his "lover"

If he was abused he would not be his 'lover'!! He would be a victim of child abuse. What is going on? Why does Dan Reed want to portray it as "lovers"? This makes me feel ill, insulted and angry as a victim. Even if this is being portrayed as a grooming type of abuse within what they felt was a loving relationship, they wouldn't be "lovers". It's highly inappropriate to say that, that makes them sound like equals in the "relationship", and actually makes it sound more acceptable, which he obviously shouldn't be doing.
If this happened to Wade and James, someone continuing to say they were "lovers" would be messing with their heads. It would mess with mine, harm me further, delay healing, and depending on my mindset at the time, make me angry, even if I thought at one time I was in a loving relationship with my abuser. It's ignoring the power dynamic, and obviously the ages. Someone aged 7 - 14 can never be anyone's 'lover'.
Carrying on referring to them as "lovers" wouldn't help the process of coming to terms with, healing, and, moving on from abuse. It reinforces unhealthy, and abusive thinking.
This film has descriptive images put in our minds of child sex abuse and body parts, more that I haven't even written here, along with the idea that they are "lovers"!?!
Only sickos would want to buy or even sell this film.
