Documentary about child molesters and what happens when they are released into the community. The Mennonite Central Committee has created Circles of Support and Accountability to help child molesters when they are run out of the community. Their work is based on the Mennonite belief of “radical hospitality” which is also described as “grace to a stranger”. Interviewees include: a pedophile who likes to go camping with his wife and who thinks that the members of the Circle are the most wonderful people in the world; [Hugh Kierkergor], who was working as a community chaplain; Mennonite pastor Harry Nigh of Hamilton; a reformed alcoholic Dan Haley, who counselled alcoholics, from Peterborough; Norma Candy and Julie Bender. Subjects discussed include: offenders released from jail into the community, with no assistance; efforts to help released pedophiles settle into the community; dealing the anger in the community over having pedophiles in their midst; publicity in communities fearful of pedophiles; the Circles of Support and Accountability program and the volunteers who work in it. <32mn 37s>
