Thieves of Innocence (2005) delves into the alarming statistics of child maltreatment in Quebec, where annually, 25,000 cases of child abuse, neglect, or abandonment are documented by the Directorate of Youth Protection. Tragically, nearly 40% of infant fatalities in the province are attributed to parental violence. This grim reality results in approximately 30,000 children receiving support from the DPJ until they reach adulthood. The documentary, helmed by journalist and filmmaker Paul Arcand, features poignant testimonies from both child and adult survivors of various forms of abuse. Arcand also engages with politicians, social workers, and judicial figures to explore their perspectives on the issue. Moreover, the film critically examines the inefficiencies of a bureaucratic system that often appears indifferent to the welfare of the very children it is tasked to protect.
