Fox Chase Boy

Gerad Argeros, Kaya Dillon / United States / 2024 / World Premiere / 26 min.

synopsis

The year 2017 was marked by the suicide of a victim of paedophile priest James Brzyski, who by some estimates molested over a hundred boys in Philadelphia in the 1970s and 1980s. One of the survivors is comedian Gerad Argeros, who appears naked, literally and symbolically, before his audience. His cathartic stand-up show is both self-therapy and collective healing. To speak is not to let evil win.

“I'm standing here naked in front of you and I don't care what you think of my little penis. I'm here to tell you what happens to children who are raped. They just disappear.”
