New Documentary Lays Bare John Smyth's Violent Regime and the Church Cover-Up

The Church of England’s biggest abuse scandal centred on barrister and Christian leader John Smyth, whose violent regime began in his Winchester home and spread across continents for decades. A new two-part Channel 4 documentary now lays bare both the abuse and the Church’s failures. PJ Smyth, John Smyth’s son, speaks for the first time in depth about life inside the Smyth household and why he and his family are now breaking their silence. Andy Morse, one of the boys regularly beaten by Smyth in the UK and shares his experience of the manipulation, violence and long-running cover-up that followed.
