Not in my Backyard

Matthias Bittner Duitsland 2011 87 min.

A confronting film about the biggest taboos in our society: the rehabilitation of pedophiles. In Miami, Florida two child abusers are followed who have done their time and are trying to rebuild their lives. No easy feat as their names, pictures and crimes have been published online. Strict laws force them to retreat to the margins of society. Filmmaker Matthias Bittner aims his camera at the person behind the crime and asks relevant questions on how we as a society try to prevent them from ever reoffending again.
