A film by Geertjan Lassche
The Netherlands 2025

A woman speaks out about years of sexual abuse by her father, confronting her past, her family and the church members who knew about the abuse but looked away and did not intervene.

I WAS ONLY A CHILD is part of a documentary series on the Ten Commandments, produced by DOXY Films and EOdocs, in which ten filmmakers each give their take on one of the Commandments. Geertjan Lassche ventured into the fifth commandment: ‘Honour thy father and thy mother.’
