"Child Abuse Suspect" and "Big First Aid"

Last year, after watching the documentary "Big First Aid", I wrote an impression: "Big First Aid", a blockbuster that truly shows the power of documentaries!

This year, before the Oscars, I watched Child Abuse Doubt.
When I saw it, I was reminded of "Big First Aid".

The American documentary "Deliver Us From Evil" was filmed in 2006. Documents how Oliver, one of the most notorious paedophile priests in the history of the modern Catholic Church, used his authoritarian position to commit evil acts against dozens of children in northern California in the 1970s.
The leadership within the church knew that Oliver's pedophilia was hidden for more than 30 years and never took any measures. As a result, within 30 years, dozens of children in these parishes, including boys and girls, were Sexually assaulted by Oliver to varying degrees. It wasn't until the victim's parents took Oliver to court that the truth of the case, which sparked an uproar in the American Catholic Church, was revealed.
"Big First Aid" isn't the kind of romance with a full story, or the kind of thriller with a thrilling plot. It's just a light beginning, a light interview, and a light narrative. As the incident progressed, the real power gradually emerged. Pastor Oliver, who did bad things and was very mild-mannered, all the victims and their families, not only did the trauma to their souls not subside after being victimized for decades, but As time goes on, the wound becomes more painful. When a victim's father cried out to the camera decades later, I was really sad. In a country that claims to be civilized, where is the dignity of the law? Where is the heaven!

The most surprising thing is that it is natural for such a bad guy to end up in front of the camera, and he actually wrote to his victims decades ago, hoping to meet them. Of course, he cannot be forgiven by the victim, because this is not a forgivable mistake! ...the sun went down, and the afterglow

of the sun smeared the Western European town where Oliver lived. Oliver was pacing the streets leisurely.

Movie.
The two films are about the same thing. It’s just that documentaries record the truth of history, while feature films tell a fictional story.

I find it strange because "Major First Aid" records real events in northern California in the 1970s, while "Child Abuse Suspect" is about 1964, in the Bronx, New York, at St. Nicholas Catholic School. matter.
In the end, whether the priest in the Catholic school did something bad, this movie does not teach, its theme is not on this matter. And just use child abuse to make a statement.

But I think it's very strange. When I watch this movie, I feel as if it has something to do with "Big First Aid"...

Both are "child abuse", one is confirmed through investigation; the other is unsure after investigation
...

Both It was shot by the Americans, and that was a big deal back then.
Is filming "Child Abuse" and "Big First Aid" related or not at all?
