Innovative audio/visual documentary/drama using real-life audio interviews recorded over the course of a year with families after a member of the family has been charged with possessing indecent images of children. Unsurprisingly, the interviewees (who include wives, children and the offenders themselves) are reluctant to appear on camera for fear of reprisals so their words are lip-synched to by a cast of actors.
