Leave No Trace, directed by Peabody and Emmy Award winner Irene Taylor and scored by Mark Orton, had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival and is now available to stream on Hulu.
The Boy Scouts are an American institution, lauded by multiple presidents as the epitome of integrity and described by one interviewee in the documentary Leave No Trace as “wholesome as apple pie.” But beneath its Norman Rockwell exterior lies a scandal—and a coverup—of shocking proportions. More than 82,000 men have come forward with charges of sexual abuse against scoutmasters and other authority figures within the Boy Scouts, prompting bankruptcy filings and a massive settlement that’s still moving through the U.S. court system.
The Wrap praised that “The documentary’s spotlight on sexual abuse victims is undeniably powerful” and “tackles an urgent topic and relays essential truths.”
