    Football's Darkest Secret

    A BBC documentary series about child abuse in football.

    An incredibly difficult watch, but an important piece of reportage to give the subject its daylight.

    Difficult to "recommend" it in the normal sense, really.

    I know I have to watch it, but I’m not ready yet.

      We watched all three episodes over a couple of evenings last week and it brought my wife to tears at several points At the end there's a mix of emotions - white-hot anger of course at the perpetrators and those who turned a blind eye because the abuser's value to the football club was perceived as more important, shock at how common it was and how easily it appears to have been carried out, and complete admiration for those who were brave enough to confront their demons and bring these fuckers to justice.

        Yes, it's exactly as sickening and rage-inducing as you might expect, but an incredibly important piece of television nonetheless.
