Former Bartian's film deals with child sexual abuse

"In a Town This Size," by director Patrick V. Brown, will be shown as part of the BareBones International Film Festival on Saturday. The documentary, dealing with a long-suppressed tragedy of childhood sexual abuse, initially premiered in Oklahoma at the Trail Dance Film Festival in Duncan in January. It has since been shown at the Litchfield Hills Film Festival in Connecticut earlier this month and is scheduled to be shown at Tulsa's Circle Theatre on June 5 as part of a fundraiser and community awareness panel. No date for a Bartlesville screening has yet been announced. Brown, 50, now resides in Los Angeles, but grew up in Bartlesville and counts himself among the victims portrayed in the film.
