True Stories: Chosen September 22, 2008

RSA Screens - Exclusive preview screening and Q&A with the director, Brian Woods and Jess Search, chair of The Channel 4 British Documentary Film Foundation.

Chosen tells the extraordinary story of Tom, Mark and Alastair who at a young age were sent to the best school that money could buy. What their parents didn’t suspect, was that several teachers on the staff were abusing their position of power to sexually exploit students. After thirty years of silence these three men speak out with spellbinding articulacy and breath-taking honesty. This is an extraordinary film which, despite the subject matter, is enormously engaging and watchable. It gives an unusual insight into the ways that children can be drawn into abusive situations and how schools can fail spectacularly in their duty of care to young and vulnerable children.

Screening will start promptly at 6.30pm and we recommend people take their seats by 6.15pm
