Scout Master, 2022
A rural Arkansas community grapples with the devastating revelation that a local man used his position as a scout leader to sexually assault young boys. In Scout Master journalist Josh Rushing investigates the horrific impact this abuse has had on survivors, specifically Heath Stocks—a former scout who was convicted of murdering his father, mother and sister. This powerful true crime film from Al Jazeera's Emmy-Award-winning documentary program Fault Lines situates these personal stories of abuse within the more than 80,000 allegations made against The Boy Scouts of America.
