- Summary: “No Brother of Mine” offers an unflinching look at U.S. sex offender policy that reaches beyond the headlines and into the lives of real people. Reported over four years by award-winning independent producers Todd Melby and Diane Richard, this hour-long documentary combines audio-rich storytelling that puts the listener in the scene with expert interviews that lend perspective and propel the narrative forward. It provides a nuanced examination of issues surrounding federal online registration laws, residency restrictions, Romeo and Juliet laws and the growing use of civil commitment.

This is a well produced and thoughtful documentary.
Because it's such an unpopular and tangled subject, what work do we need to do?
Am I hearing the popular opinion that sex offenders can't be rehabilitated is a myth?
Calm, thoughtful, no apologies for perpetrators.
People need to hear this. That's about my highest recommendation.
