Exclusive footage brings the social history of the conflict to life as world-class, renowned experts come together at key flashpoints over the years to passionately and eloquently spar over whether or not you can, as Elizabeth Loftus challenges, “be molested every night for a 10-year period and then totally repress it until it comes out in therapy 20 years later.”
Dramatic, compelling research from emerging brain science, and the moving, engrossing stories from victims of child sexual abuse and amnesia punctuate the story of the evolving evidence and bring it to a logically convincing conclusion.
