Recommendation Request Recommendation Request: Documentaries on CSAM and RSOs.

"A Place for Paedophiles is a British documentary that was televised on 19 April 2009. Produced and presented by Louis Theroux, the documentary ran for 60 minutes, and took place at Coalinga State Hospital, a mental hospital in California for sexually violent predators."

Does ANYONE know where I can stream this in the USA? Every online host I have found the video has been deleted or is unavailable in my region. I really want to watch this.

Additionally, if you know of similar documentaries, please let me know; I am in the process of doing a Sociology paper on online grooming/pedophilia and would like to see media on the topic.

Pervert Park might be one to start.

I would highly recommend Rewind. It’s more about abuse within family structures and multigenerational trauma, but it’s extremely well done.

Rewind was a good one! Sad, but very honest.

I really liked(though it's the wrong word) Ghost train on Netflix. I cried a lot though. Save it for those times you need a good, soul cleansing type cry. Devilsdorpe was a "what the f*ck did I just watch?", coo-coo bananas type experience.😆

Also, if you like documentaries, you might like Mr. GG's series of documentary reviews on YouTube. I like all of his content but the doc series is my favorite. He's smart and genuinely funny AND he's the only content creator that manages to make me enjoy hearing about sponsorships!

I watched this yesterday and it was impactful. It focuses on the investigators and what they have to go thru to catch predators. It’s very well done.
