Wherein we take a hammer to Amy J. Berg's masterpiece of misdirection. 

An Open Secret is an American documentary film directed by Amy J. Berg exposing child sexual abuse in the film industry in California. The film features interviews with victimized performers, who were targeted when they were young boys, as well as industry figures, the predators themselves, and journalists. Wikipedia Berg decided to make the documentary after she was approached by Matthew Valentinas in 2011. Valentinas and Gabe Hoffman wanted to make a film about victims of sexual exploitation. Valentinas said, "We chose Amy because we didn't want it to be exploitative or tabloid. We wanted it to be empowering for the victims."[4] Matthew Valentinas, an entertainment lawyer, came up with the idea when he heard #CoreyFeldman talking about his sexual abuse as a child actor in a TV interview.[5] Berg's 2006 film Deliver Us from Evil, a documentary on systemic child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, had been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. An Open Secret has an approval rating of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on reviews from 17 critics.[7] On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 66 out of 100 based on reviews from 9 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[8] The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film offered a "sober look at accusations that lend themselves to sensationalism."[9] The Los Angeles Times describes the movie as "not the hard-hitting exposé that it aims to be" but as "an unsettling look at pedophilia in Hollywood".[10] The New York Times wrote that the "topic deserves a tenacious call for answers" and hoped for "further aggressive reporting" which they missed in the movie, when Berg linked Martin Weiss "to a string of other men" but only presenting "a secretly taped conversation and some menacing music".[11] Flavorwire claims that "the film feels less shocking as a cult-of-celebrity document and more just quietly horrifying, as it details the trauma and the abuse of power inflicted on young men with stars in their eyes."[12] Indiewire described the documentary as "an incisive and utterly unflinching look at a subject too rarely scrutinized."[13] #pedowood --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vegansteven/message

On May 5, 1993 three eight year old boys, Steve Branch, Christopher Byers and Michael Moore, were playing their neighborhood when they never returned home. The next day their naked bodies would be found in a place called Robin Hood Hills. A community rattled by an atrocious crime would look furiously for the perpetrators to be held accountable. The investigation, trial, and conviction of Jessie Misskelley Jr., Jason Baldwin, and Damien Echols, would continue to be debated today, when three teenage boys would become the West Memphis Three.

Today's theme: Me Too Movement People across the world are writing "me too" on social media to raise awareness of sexual assault and harassment. The phrase began trending on Twitter and has been posted by millions of Facebook users after people were asked to share their experiences in light of allegations against Harvey Weinstein. And here in Korea, a string of workplace sexual harassment exposes here in recent weeks has triggered angry calls for boycotts of the companies involved. The internet age has better equipped people to deal with these issues. We look into how a hashtag became a rallying cry against sexual harassment. >>>The Conversationalist with Jen Schradie Research Fellow at Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse, France sociologist who studies digital activism “As someone who studies digital activism and things do or don't take off in the cyber world, what can you tell us about the recent eruption of the Me Too hashtag? It's been around since 2006 so what has precipitated this latest viral incarnation?” & Jayda Rasberry Organizing director for Dignity and Power Now, dealing with sexual harassment in the women's jail and prisons recently took part in the Me Too Survivors March Rally in LA as a speaker “There has been talk about those that have come forward being reluctant to name their attackers. Do you think this is something that should be addressed? Do we need to start bringing more names into the equation? Or is it enough that people are able to finally relieve themselves of the burden they've been carrying alone?” >>>Media Monster An Open Secret An Open Secret is an American documentary film directed by Amy J.
