The Banner
Project : Breaking the Silence of Sexual Abuse
VHS.
Produced by The Safer Society Program. 43minutes, 1994
£
+ VAT
Sexual abuse has long been a silent, secret, hidden crime affecting the
lives of children and the adults they become. In multicolored
swatches of fabric, The Banner Project tells the world that
hundreds of men, women, and children have survived childhood
experiences of sexual abuse by family members and others. Each
square shows a hand raised to say "Stop! No more!" and represents
thousands of survivors who are breaking society's silence
about
this insidious crime, helping to heal from decades of pain
and isolation.
In January 1993, three survivors, Safer Society Award winner Lori
Schroeder, author and longtime survivor activist Euan Bear of
the
Safer Society Program, and survivor Olin McGill (speaking out
publicly for the first time), gathered to talk about the Banner Project
and the impact of incest and childhood sexual abuse on their
lives. The three speak of pain, secrecy, and rage, but also
of healing, joy, and wholeness.

The Healing
Years
VHS.
Produced by Future Educational Film Inc. 52 minutes.
£69.00 + VAT
The Healing Years is a documentary taking a bold look at the profound
effects of child sexual abuse on individuals, families and
society, and the importance of recovery as a key to ending the cycle of
abuse. The program profiles three women survivors of incest
from
diverse socioeconomic backgrounds - Marilyn Van Derbur, former
Miss America; Janice Mirikitani, President of San Francisco's renowned
Glide Memorial Church; and Barbara Hamilton, a 78-year old
survivor. These women bear witness to the emotional dysfunction,
addiction, perpetuation of abuse, and detrimental impact this
crime has on families and society. Yet, the program is ultimately
inspiring as we witness their recovery from victims to
empowered
women, ending the cycle of child sexual abuse in our families
and
communities where incest and abuse is widely prevalent.

Offender-Victim
Communication : A Face-to-Face Session
DVD. Produced by Safer
Society Press. 57 minutes, 1995.
£85.00 +
VAT
In
this first-of-its-kind video, 7 sex offenders in various stages of
treatment
introduce themselves with brief descriptions of their offenses and
their
victims. Facing the camera they respond to 21 questions asked aloud by
an adult
female survivor of childhood sexual abuse - questions she had
originally
asked
her abuser - including:
Why
did you molest me?
Why
did you tell lies and keep secrets?
How
did you keep your lives (as a regular guy and a child molester)
separate?
How
could I have stopped you?
What
did I do that led to this?
Was
there anyone else besides me?
Are
you mad because I told?
What
did you do to keep your victims from telling?
What
do you think I am going through?
Are
others safe around you?
If
you could tell the victims of sexual assault one thing, what would it
be?
The
answers are sometimes brutally honest, occasionally self-centered or
unconvincing, but always illuminating. Viewing the tape will help:
Your sex offender clients break down
their denial.
Victim's families stop blaming the
victim.
Abusers' families understand about
offender thinking & behavior patterns.
Victims stop blaming themselves.
