The first in the three-part series, Innocence explores the romantic idea that children are innocent, and that this is at the heart of what we believe childhood should be. We are outraged when this innocence is violated by any form of child abuse or exploitation. But in our efforts to protect children have we gone too far? Does our sentimental view of childhood blind us to the realities of children's lives? A Film Australia National Interest Program.
