Director Jennifer Fox chronicles her story of childhood abuse at the hands of a high-school coach in this powerful film. Laura Dern stars as the adult Jennifer who is prompted to reconcile her memories of the situation with the horrifying reality.

Difficult to watch, tells a story that is hard to comprehend at times, but rings true. Best viewed by yourself, so no one else sees you cry.

This is a stunning look at the effects of trauma on memory and the long-lasting aftermath of childhood abuse. It has a raw honesty that could only come from a survivor of abuse, and I am so grateful that Jennifer Fox was willing to share her story.
