Leave No Trace - General Discussion

[DanaK]

Quote

Peabody and Emmy®-winning and Oscar®-nominated director Irene Taylor ("Moonlight Sonata: Deafness in Three Movements," "Beware the Slenderman") of Vermilion Films, Imagine Documentaries and ABC News Studios investigate the downfall of an American institution in the powerful and timely documentary, "Leave No Trace."

The film draws on financial records, court documents and scores of interviews to dissect a centurylong cover-up by The Boy Scouts of America (BSA). The organization concealed that pedophiles were in its ranks, but the disclosure of secret "perversion files" in litigation eventually led to disgrace and bankruptcy. Producing alongside Taylor is Sara Bernstein and Justin Wilkes for Imagine Documentaries, Emily Singer Chapman and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nigel Jaquiss.

The documentary began streaming on Hulu on June 16
