This documentary delves into the harrowing experiences of Manny Waks, a survivor of child sexual abuse within Melbourne's Orthodox Jewish community. Directed by Danny Ben-Moshe, the film serves as a sequel to the award-winning documentary "Code of Silence."

The documentary begins with Waks testifying at the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, focusing on the cover-ups by ultra-Orthodox Jewish institutions during the 1980s and 1990s. It reveals that Manny was not the only member of his family affected—his brothers were also victims of abuse by a Yeshivah Centre teacher. The film follows Manny's journey to confront one of his abusers in the United States, culminating in an emotional and complex interaction with a convicted pedophile.

The documentary is both an exploration of the deep scars left by abuse and an indictment of the systemic failures that allowed such crimes to persist. It challenges the code of silence within the community and offers a raw, unflinching look at the long road to justice and healing.
