Groom Scroll: The Tale

Sweet Listeners, take care of yourself with this one. This truly amazing movie obviously rattled us a bit as you will hear. On today's Groom Scroll, we discuss The Tale (2019). It is a film directed by Jennifer Fox, based on her true story of being groomed and abused at the age of 13. It is a powerful depiction through the literal lens of a survivor. -- Entertainment Weekly Article Diana references [https://ew.com/tv/2018/05/25/jennifer-fox-had-to-use-her-real-name-in-the-tale-so-people-would-believe-the-story/] NPR article about Jennifer Fox and her movie [https://www.npr.org/2018/08/08/636536848/a-tale-of-child-sex-abuse-was-inspired-by-filmmakers-real-life-trauma] For support and information, please check out: RAINN [https://rainn.org/]
