Dangerous Memories

About Dangerous Memories

When Sarah watched her 23 year old daughter cycle away from her in Chelsea - a well-off corner of London - she had no idea it would be the last time they’d see each other for 6 years. What would make a loving child from a life of privilege sever ties with friends and family, and disappear? It turns out, Sarah wasn’t alone in losing a daughter. Something strange was happening to other young women, too. And they all had one thing in common: a kind of therapist figure - a woman they were all seeing and sharing their problems, their secrets, their fears with. But it took years for the truth of what was happening behind closed doors to emerge, and the extraordinary things this woman led them to believe. Dangerous Memories is the story of young women who wanted to be healed that became, for us, a story about the healer, and what we risk when we let someone else into our mind, and our memory.

Lightbulbs | Ep 6

Published 2 Sept 2024 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I think I have, for better or worse, an inner propensity to expect and believe that men can intentionally do serious harm, whether it's dropping bombs on civilian populations, sexual assault, ruthless lies in the workplace at the cost of others, forming cults to manipulate people for their own personal gain, but women and malice, women knowingly doing serious harm. My knee jerk response is to try and find a reason why that might not be true, and excuse for why they did it, or even a man who might be manipulating them. It's a kind of inverse sexism against my own, I think. I went round and round with that thought process a lot in the making of this, and at times I felt concerned about Anne, in the way I don't think I would have worried about a man. […]
