Gardens of the Night Shines Light on Abuse, Neglect and Child Abuduction

This past week I went on a day-long search for quality information about child abuse that I could use for my class, Introduction to Victimology. One of the things I found was a trailer for Gardens of the Night. It's a movie staring Tom Arnold and John Malkovich about a young girl who was abducted as a child and molested throughout her youth. As a teen she is turned to the streets to become a prostitute. Eventually, she runs away with a friend and they survive street life together. I was thinking this movie might be entertaining and informative for the students in my class so I wanted to find out where its playing and how can I get a DVD. I went to their website at www.gardensofthenight.com to discover that the movie is playing in a total of 2 theatres in all of the United States of America. No, I didn't leave any numbers out, it is not an editorial error. It is playing in 2 (two) theatres in the entire nation. I guess I'm lucky that one of the theaters is less than 50 miles from my house and if traffic is light, it might only take an hour and a half each way to get there. Hopefully, once I do make it there it will be a good movie and they will be selling DVD's on site. In case you happen to live somewhere near one of the two places in the nation that show this movie, here is the GARDENS OF THE NIGHT Screening Schedule: November 7 Village East Cinema 181-189 2nd Ave New York, NY 10003 December 5 Laemmle's Sunset 5 8000 Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90046 Gardens of the Night won the International Critics Award at the Deauville Film Festival.
