Open Secret
Fundraising Trailer for Open Secret
Open Secret, reveals how systemic racism, and child sexual assaults went unreported and covered up for decades in New Hanover County, NC. And how a corrupt power structure, which had dominated this county for years, allowed it.
A handful of brave citizens decide to confront the one-sided system, in the hope of a 'new tomorrow" - would they fall victim to the same tactics that had controlled the county for decades?
Along the way, there would be suicides, systemic racism, intimidation, threats, countless sexual abuse scandals, targeting, multiple betrayals, cover-ups, lies, collusion, staggering conflicts of interest and multiple lawsuits.
One by one, high-ranking administrators, faculty, lawyers, and elected officials would be forced to resign or retire, amidst scandalous headlines relating to intimidation and child sexual assaults - but none were fired.
An SBI investigation would be initiated to investigate who within the school system knew about the sexual assaults, were mandated to report them, but didn't. It would take 3 years to complete.
The shocking results from this beacon of hope, would prove devastating. It would also underscore the need to get out and vote for candidates who will fight for their community, not for ambition.
