A Paedophile in My Family: Surviving Dad is an extraordinarily personal film following Emily Victoria, a successful businesswoman and mother who, on the surface, has an enviable life. But unbeknown to friends and colleagues, she carries the weight of... a childhood no one should experience: repeated sexual abuse by her father. With his release from prison, Emily considers confronting the person who destroyed her childhood, as she seeks to find out if his time in prison has changed him.

Emily reaches out to those from her childhood - teachers, family friends and her mother - trying to understand how her abuse remained hidden for so long

It’s an emotional portrayal of the effects of long-term abuse, showing the importance of confronting our past, and the power of speaking up. Emily’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the need to support survivors of abuse.
