Daddies and mummies

[Sarah Wagner]

All I can think is, what about this young "actor" who is doing this?  What is she thinking as she says all of these horrible things?  You can't, even in an acting context, make this sound like "pretend" can you?  It's an incredible film, unbelievable (and incredibly important message of course), but I'm so conflicted about the reality of making it.

our SafePlace volunteer co-ordinator...
