Pervert Park (2014) Reviews

  • Pervert Park succeeds at giving sexual offenders a voice.

    This documentary will be difficult to stomach if you subscribe to the school of thought that views child molesters as disgusting, unable to be rehabilitated, and/or undeserving of sympathy. However, if you are willing to suspend your judgment for a mere hour, this film will surely have you second-guessing your stance by the end of it. Pervert Park is a glimpse into the stories of several convicted child molesters who live together in a small trailer park. Both men and women inhabit this space, and their crimes vary in severity. When a violent child rapist is lumped together with someone who merely responded to the wrong Craigslist ad, it really makes you question why we vilify all sexual offenders as one and the same. Their stories are brutally honest. The film tries to answer how these people became who they are, and where they plan to go from here. Rather than play into the creepiness factor, Pervert Park proves that many of these offenders are rational adults who clearly know right from wrong, but nonetheless found themselves in the position that they are in. The counseling sessions shown are extremely thought-provoking and may leave you questioning our typical "label and ostracize" response, especially when the line between being an actual predator and simply making a mistake is so blurry.

    This is an empathetic documentary portrait of a group of convicted sex offenders who live together in a trailer park because laws restricting where they can live after release from prison has made it almost impossible to find shelter. The residents support each other in a society that has spurned them. We sit in on their group therapy sessions which are a mix of heartbreaking and chilling. It's not easy to watch someone – even someone who seems to feel terrible remorse – relate the story of how he came to rape a 5 year old girl. But it's also powerful and sad to realize that almost to a person, all these men (and a couple of women) were themselves terribly sexually abused as children. And that one of their children whom they abused has now gone on to be convicted of a sex crime as well. The film posits that these people are certainly criminals, but they are also certainly victims as well, and that only through compassionate treatment can the cycle be broken. It also makes clear that lumping so many offenders with crimes of wildly different seriousness in the same heading of 'registered sex offender', publishing their names and addresses, not allowing them to live or work in huge swaths of the areas they live in is - for many - a highly unfair practice, and actually endanger all the offenders, allowing those out to frighten or harm them easy access. It's an uncomfortable film to watch – it's hard to find oneself empathetic to people who have done terrible things. But it's also an important questioning of how we treat other human beings, no matter what their past holds. One flaw - I was frustrated that the film sites statistics that go against what most of us have heard so many times – stating that sex criminals are actually among the least likely to offend again, not the most – but then fails to say where those statistics come from, or why most people have heard the opposite. If you're going to challenge people's fears and conventional wisdom, you need more than an unattributed title card.

    Lock your Doors.. hide the Kids? "I screened this Film as part the 2015 Florida Film Festival." The State of Florida has decided that all Sex Violent Predators as well as Offenders be lumped together and to dump them off into places such as the subject of this Film "Pervert Park". My overview here is based on what is happening in my own County (Orange) where there are 1000 homeless and many Registered Offenders with no place to live. Pervert Park focus's is in the reality of this Nationwide "Witchhunt". An entire Society of Humans that have been captured, many wrongly accused and are being led to the Stake. This is the only Film that has had the guts to not only look at the nature of Sexual Crimes against Children but also the lower tiered Non Violent Crimes that put Offenders on Registrations for Life as well. At the end credits when several audience members stood up and clapped, I did not know if they were applauding the Film and its content or wanted themselves to take justice in their own hands to bestow violence against the Sex Offenders. Its shock value is everlasting! JEV 2015

    I don't want to rate this as a '1' for the entertainment factor because it is a very entertaining doc. However, it truly appalls me how someone can wrap their head around the things that these offenders have done, and then have the audacity to justify them. No spoiler--but the woman in the movie--making excuses for what she did by the explanation of the way she was raised....after the acts she committed....please just EXCUSE ME if I'm not intelligent or liberal enough to cry for her. "Grossed out" is a gross understatement. A lot of this documentary focused on past abuse of the sex offenders, which is generally the case. But please don't expect the public to sympathize with this sort of thing. There are some sacred things left in the world, and there are some taboos to be upheld...thank God. Just ask yourself "your daughter?" "your son?". There is anger towards pedophiles for a reason...they are basically child murderers because that child's life is forever changed and their innocence is no longer intact. No, I do not care how much therapy the rapist has had-- please forgive me.

  • Well made but horrifying

    I found it very hard to sit through this. Very one sided and slanted. While it might be possible for a small percentage of these people to be rehabilitated, I believe most will not. If living away from other people will help, then I think it should be done. What I don't see in many of these people is any kind of real remorse, with the exception of the woman. They all sit around and bitch about how no one will hire them. Never once do you hear anything about how they harmed their young victim, possibly for life. Have they tried to make any amends to their victims? None of that is discussed. I don't have children and if I did I would feel little compassion for these folks. I think they need to live in their own communities, with no contact with society. You did the crime, I don't care if you were abused, I know people who suffered sexual abuse and they did not go on to victimize others. I do hope some of them will see the light and not go on to re-offend.
