I can't stress enough how important this documentary is to watch - Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV only scratches the surface. As devastating as it is, it's still happening, and has been for many decades before; as the documentary touches slightly on young actors and actresses from the 80's & 90's as well.
Power is power, and this doc clearly shows just how much power people in Hollywood have. That 3 child predators have gotten away with SA, with no proper repercussions. This documentary is dark, and will make you think twice about what you allow your kids to watch on TV, and it will likely make you question your own childhood memories of some of your favorite movies/shows, and the actors/actresses you idolized, and the possible abuse they endured.
I am so proud of the people who spoke up in this documentary, and my heart aches for all of them who suffered, and still suffer today from the trauma. Drake was a young child in the courtroom with Brian Peck during his sentence, telling a room full of adults that he was literally R'd by this man, REPEATEDLY... and he only got 16 months in jail. Dan Schneider has never even seen the inside of a jail cell. And the other guy who was emailing pics to young female cast members of himself j'king off barely got a slap on the wrist.
And might I add, that this is not just about the abuse these child actors suffered/suffer, it's also about the children in front of the TV screens, watching these shows... our children. The s*xual innuendos are written into these shows to indoctrinate young kids subliminally; to program their minds into thinking this behavior is not a red flag. It's disgusting. In these shows made to entertain us, there is a world full of pain and suffering behind our screens.
If anyone rates this less than a 10/10, you're the problem. It's not supposed to be a cinematic masterpiece... this doc was merely created to expose the corruption that is children's television, and that NOTHING is done to the monsters behind it all.
It was made to OPEN PEOPLES EYES! So open them.
