Documentary "If You Tell Anyone"-The Brett Allan Show If You Tell Anyone… is a Documentary written and produced by Norman Fried, PhD; Nathan Spiteri, and Dean Love.   This film is based on the true-life story of Australian born author/actor Nathan Spiteri, adapted from his memoir Toy Cars; One Man’s Journey from Trauma to Triumph. Raped at the age of 8 years old by a man in a public locker room, Nathan endured five years of repeated abuse. His abuser kept him quiet by telling him… “If you tell anyone, I’ll kill you and I’ll kill your whole family.” As in all abusive relationships, Nathan was groomed and manipulated to believe that what was happening to him was his own fault.  Nathan was unable to tell anyone about what had happened to him for 25 years. As a result, his adult life spiraled into addictions to alcohol, drugs and sex. He became suicidal before finally breaking down and telling someone what had happened to him.   Nathan is now able to tell his story through the artistic structure of this documentary. The film explores the arch of transformation that young Nathan underwent as he discovered a more redemptive way of living and healing. Through real footage of trauma therapy sessions, Nathan and Dr. Norman Fried describe how healing from child sex abuse is possible.   The goal of the film is to inspire other abuse victims to speak up and to get the help they need; while also helping parents and other caretakers recognize the dangers and symptoms of a child who may be being sexually abused.   This is a powerful and cautionary story about the complexities of childhood trauma and its aftermath, starring Nathan Spiteri and Norman Fried, and directed by three-time Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker Dean Love.   Learn more about Nathan Spiteri HERE.   Nathan Spiteri’s TEDx Talk can be found HERE.
