TV review: Abused: Breaking the Silence; Submarine School | Television & radio | The Guardian

TV review: Abused: Breaking the Silence; Submarine School Television & radio The Guardian: "Abused: Breaking the Silence (BBC1) catalogued a devastating history of abuse at two boys' schools, Grace Dieu Manor in Leicestershire and St Michael's in Soni, Tanzania, that would never have been revealed had not a group of ex-pupils started emailing each other about the sadism and sex abuse they had suffered at the hands of several Catholic priests of the Rosminian order in the 1960s. As so often in films like this, where the depressing repetitiveness of the abuse can be numbing, it was the more casual remarks, such as 'Soni broke my spirit' and 'It was a violent, loveless, sad place' that brought home the emotional damage. These men didn't just want retribution for what they had suffered, they wanted to be healed"?THE DESPAIR OF SILENCE?
