So, what do we do?

This is a well produced and thoughtful documentary.

Because it's such an unpopular and tangled subject, what work do we need to do?

Am I hearing the popular opinion that sex offenders can't be rehabilitated is a myth?

Calm, thoughtful, no apologies for perpetrators.

People need to hear this. That's about my highest recommendation.
