Watch Over me is a short film by Leah Kayaleh made to raise awareness on child sexual abuse. This is a global epidemic that does not discriminate. Abuse is insidious, often perpetrated by someone of trust, with the child often scared into secrecy. But educating children and encouraging them to have an open dialogue and speak up can save a child from a fateful encounter that could result in years of abuse. Please encourage children to speak up. #kidsspeakup.
