To a Safer Place Trailers

Sexually abused by her father from infancy to early adolescence, Shirley Turcotte is now in her thirties and has succeeded in building a rich and full life. To further reconcile her past and present, she is returning to the people and places of her childhood. Her mother, brothers and sister, all of whom were also caught up in the cycle of family violence, openly share their thoughts. Their frank disclosures will encourage survivors of incest to break through the silence and betrayal to recover and develop a sense of self-worth and dignity.

Reviews
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
