Scoutmaster
Feature doc (80 mins)
In one of the largest sexual abuse scandals in the United States, over 80,000 allegations of sexual assault have been made against the Boy Scouts of America. Families are still grappling with the impact, including in the small town of Lonoke, Arkansas where a local scout leader and prominent community member used his position to abuse boys for years. In SCOUT MASTER, Fault Lines investigates the horrific impact this abuse has had on survivors, specifically Heath Stocks — a former scout who was convicted of murdering his father, mother, and sister.
