Description: Incest is probably society's best-kept secret. This forthright and factual film provides ample proof of the grim reality of incest in our society. The characters are not actors, but a real family--an airline pilot, his young daughter, his wife. His sexual involvement with his daughter began when she was nine. The film tells what happened, how each family member felt about what was happening, and what was done once the veil of secrecy was lifted. The approach portrayed in this film offers hope that victimized children need not face a life marked by guilt, self-doubt, and fear of acceptable sexual involvement. This documentary is an important first step toward acquiring the knowledge needed to cope with and prevent incest. Emmy
