Summary *Adult Themes*Five young filmmakers are firing their Opening Shot. Opening Shot is back with a new season of five half hour documentaries made by Australia's next generation of filmmakers.Chas Fisher is 28 years old and has just become a dad. His son's birth has stirred up memories of the sexual abuse Chas suffered as a 5 year old from a babysitter. Determined to keep his son safe and make sense of his own experience, Chas embarks on a journey to try and find out why people sexually abuse children. Chas talks to victims, including a woman who was abused by her grandfather and a former Catholic altar boy abused by his local parish priest.He also talks to a former Catholic Bishop who has strong views on the reasons for abuse in the priesthood. In a series of emotionally confronting interviews Chas meets with a young girl abused by her father and directly with the perpetrator. Chas then sets out to talk to a range of experts and psychologists working with offenders, and finally, with an author and primary school teacher who has original ideas on how we might proactively approach the safety of children instead of living in fear.With so many people affected by child sexual abuse have you ever asked why it happens in the first place?PRODUCTION DETAILS:OPENING SHOT is an initiative between Screen Australia and ABC TV.
