User review:
Don’t let the film format (16mm) fool you. This is a gritty and somewhat graphic story based on actual events which took place in Canada some 30 years ago. John Robinson is a nice 14 year old kid. He’s good looking, a natural athlete and the prime suspect in a rape and murder case. The shoddy police and forensic investigation seals the boy’s fate. Child witnesses also sabotage John’s hope of being found innocent. The movie follows John’s harrowing experience in court but also explores the complexities of teen sexuality. The star is Andrew Skidd whose stand out performance is quite moving. The editing and sound is not up to par but watching it for Skidd alone is worth it. This is a rare film to find but one you won’t want to overlook.

Based on Steve Truscott case
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Truscott
Canadian here (as well, I suspect) I have been fascinated by this story for decades. Not for the ‘rape’ factor but because of the injustice. The innocent Truscott – literally sentenced to hang @ 15 – yet after growing up in jail managed to be a solid citizen. Too bad this movie is exploitive shit. The true story should be respectfully and authentically told.
Better copy added.
