Audience Member je hais la race humaine... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member A documentary that focuses child abuse in Québec and the Youth Protection Act system as well. A good subject but prented in a lame fashion. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I think Paul Arcand's documentary is hard, but it is worth seeing... something is wrong with some of those child protection services. However, keep in mind that there are lots of human interest (that is, case reports presented as typical) hiding (barely...) right-wing political agenda posing as centrist, especially in the supplementary DVD (the State is inefficient [lucidism]; "the system" is incredibly bureaucratic, which is bad [lucidism]; the social services don't work and they waste lots of taxpayer money [conservative economics]; the two major political parties both are guilty [adequism]; the traditional family is the fundamuntal unit of the society [social conservatism]; love cures all [social conservatism]). There also are some interesting points about isolation chambers in youth centers, holes and voids in the continuity of services (especially when the youth turn 18), unstability in the foster families, teacher:student and social worker:child ratios, and investing in agressors instead of victims, but those points often contradict the main messages developed in the documentary (the State is not the solution). Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member ouin.. on vit vraiment dans une société toute croche.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Ça fait réfléchir... encore de nos jours des enfants perdent leur enfance par les mêmes gens qu'ils leurs ont donné la vie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow. what an eye-opening experience. I cannot believe what children in Child Protective Services are forced to endure. Everyone needs to watch this film, maybe then something can finally be done about the injustice. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
