Rewind is a documentary film directed by Sasha Joseph Neulinger that explores the story of Neulinger's own childhood trauma and his journey to understand and confront it. Neulinger was sexually abused by family members as a child, and the film recounts his efforts to uncover the truth and reconcile his past with his present.
At the heart of the film is the collection of home videos that Neulinger's father shot throughout his childhood. These videos provide a window into Neulinger's past, and he uses them to piece together his memories and unravel the web of secrets and lies that surrounded him growing up.
Through interviews with family members, therapists, and experts on child abuse, Neulinger delves into the psychology of abuse and the ways in which it can be passed down from generation to generation. He also explores the legal and cultural barriers that can make it difficult for survivors of abuse to seek justice and healing.
Throughout the film, Neulinger shares his personal struggles with mental health and addiction, and his efforts to confront his abusers and find forgiveness for himself and others. Ultimately, Rewind is a powerful and moving portrait of one man's journey to reclaim his past and build a brighter future.
