On Easter Sunday here I'm just resurrecting an old imdb post as I think it's important that if people use this site like imdb, they have something to give some perspective if considering this film:-

I feel pretty sickened having watched the start of this documentary.

It does make clear that Jock Boyer had done prison time, pretty much from his introduction. However what it doesn't do is state the nature of this conviction until after a lengthy piece on the background to and impact of the Civil War and genocide in Rwanda.

This is a pretty poor narrative trick, attempting to emotionally attach you to the plight and hopes of the Rwandan people, at the expense of overlooking this sex offender. As soon as the reason for his incarceration was revealed, I paused this to read up on the detail of his offense, and subsequently stopped watching.

This guy was 42 years old when he began molesting an 11 year old, according to VeloNews' reporting of his sentencing. I find it deeply unsettling the manner in which a person from a such a privileged white American background, who's committed such a disgusting act, can travel to such a poor, ravaged part of the world, and use the people there in order to try to make himself seem like some sort of redeemed hero. Woefully transparent and pathetic...
