Violence in a children's rehabilitation center
The short documentary is based on the testimonies of former pupils of the Center for Social and Psychological Rehabilitation “Svitanok” in Odessa. For several years, these children suffered from the brutal treatment of the Center’s employees and the law enforcement officers who helped them.
Children were humiliated, intimidated, beaten, blackmailed and threatened. In the film, the children dared to tell in detail about the facts of violence at the Center. For many of them, this experience became a psychological trauma.
Criminal cases were opened in the center for violations. Court proceedings lasted for several years, but none of the perpetrators was ever punished.
