This was shown on TV last night. I found it pretty interesting.

I had watched that awhile back, and may even have posted about it.

I thought overall it was good, of course we only saw what didn't land on the editing room floor.

One part did disturb me however. A young blonde-haired boy was trying to tell a story - maybe about dinosaurs? - and the teacher/leader kept trying to force him to look her in the eyes while talking.

It was so clear he couldn't keep his story going AND look her in the eyes. It seemed insensitive to me.
