Valerie Gibson conceived of the Pursuit of Truth film project as a result of my fight to support my adult son’s quest for justice against the individual who abused him as a child. My family’s odyssey through the legal system was marked by countless impediments-incompetence, indifference, and procedural devices that are heavily weighted against adult survivors and in favor of their perpetrators. This experience led to the realization that as presently constituted, the process re-traumatizes survivors by invading their rights to privacy and subjecting them to inherently unfair practices. I thought that a film documentary was the most effective method to initiate the process of exposure and education.
I have become a tireless advocate for the cause of survivors seeking justice against their abusers.
