Terrible, Misandric Canadian Film
If anyone can't find this film, perhaps someone came to their senses and destroyed all traces of it.
Canadian taxpayers actually had to foot the bill for this garbage in 1993, which nobody seemed to ask to have produced and promoted by the state broadcaster - CBC. At the time, the CBC was on a roll with male-bashing, namely: bad fathers, as a plot element. Think of the teenage girl freaking out and screaming when her boyfreind tried to kiss her goodnight at the door, with memories of her father doing that to her as a child (in Degrassi), or the daughter coming across her cheating father booking a holiday with another woman (Northwood). There are more examples to cite, but these stand out the most.
This is from the same CBC in which a reporter - purposely - lost his composure during the funeral of female victims of a shooting in Montreal in 1989, which was a criminal act by a madman, but has been since used to vilify all males and law abiding gun owners. That includes young boys, such as my 5-year old nephew, who will have to wear a white ribbon and stare at a dozen empty chairs on a stage this December, fallout from this syndrome of male guilt over the shooting that still continues.
Films like this have been used to empower females. In addition to having your father arrested for spanking, with a claim of sexual abuse, as seen in this movie, you can throw your husband out of the house with an extra amount of police assistance for raising his voice at you, or if you are really annoyed by them, you can have your uncle or cousin charged with stalking you. Shed a few tears too to get you some sympathy... it really works.
Just read the columns of author Michael Coren... in Canada, apparently there isn't a shortage of real-life stories involving fathers versus social workers, police, and any other busybodies who choose to "err on the side of caution" whenever they get a whiff of abuse claims. May they get a taste of their own medicine.
Avoid this film, it will leave a bad taste in your mouth for years to come.
