You can watch documentaries for a very long time without encountering a more magnetic and fearless performance than that given by Adam Steed in this film. You may have reservations about the word “performance” in the context of a documentary, but it is a term I use without disparagement regardless of the craft a filmmaker brings to bear in the construction of a film, or the inherent intrigue of its plot or premise, great documentaries must have compelling subjects perform compellingly on camera. Steed “performs” the role of brave truth-teller, recounting the painful and horrific abuse he suffered as a youth in the Boy Scouts and his betrayal by the Mormon church in a manner so heart-breakingly open and vulnerable that it clicks the rest of the byzantine layers of the plot into place, providing the emotional core that makes Brian Knappenberger’s latest film unforgettable.
