Film No. 39 (2017) Don't Tell. May 30th.

Film No. 39 (2017) May 30th.  4.50 PM Greater Union Event Cinema,  Innaloo.


"Kevin was extremely popular with the girls, unfortunately some of them have powerful imaginations" (Former head of Toowoomba Prep school describes his and the Anglican diocese version of events in 1990).






Quality performances and a courtroom drama using the actual transcripts bolsters Don't Tell, a devastatingly important Australian story. Lyndal (Sara West) is broken but very brave as she takes on the Anglican diocese, desperate to repair the wrongs committed against her by a teacher at her Toowoomba boarding school in the early nineties. Solicitor (Aden Young) and Barrister (Jack Thompson) team up to become the rocks Lyndal nervously places her faith in. One review I read described Don't Tell as a film all Australian parents should see; I'd go as far as to expand the audience to all parents. 10GUMS.
