Thank you izobcenec for the info! Now, I've asked this question before but nobody replied: I used to be able to watch this channel when I had an Astra dish - is it still available on this satellite (19.2 degrees east) unencrypted? If so, a lot of people in England will be able to see it.

Speaking German, I take the liberty of translating "correctly":
End of silence - sexual abuse among Jehovah's Witnesses - a film by Monica Schick and Gaby Fuest.
With the arrival of Bill Bowen at Frankfurt Airport hope comes to the life of a 17 years old Jehovah's Witness. He is the founder of a US organization, "Silent Lambs", and brought the sexual abuse among Jehova's Witnesses into the public. And he promises to help Jutta. She had to keep quiet, in order not to disrupt the reputation of the Witnesses. That is what the Elders demanded from her, when she asked for help, because her father abused her. He also was a Witness, one held in high esteem within the congregation. In stead of help she was threatened. Other women tell similar stories: They were not believed, and told that those who sought assistance from outside of the congregation, would be thrown out of the brotherhood. The offenders could keep on abusing.
An insider, an earlier Elder from the USA succeeded in the impossible: He gave the women courage, and they managed to break their silence. His self-aid-group "Silent Lambs" has become a starting point and hope for victims also from Germany. Some he stopped from committing suicide, as Jutta. Of her and others, who no longer keep quiet, tells the film by Monica Schuck and Gaby Fuest.

Today there is an advertisment in 48 newspapers all over Germany to promote tomorrows TV report:
It reads:
The End of Silence
Sexual Abuse Among Jehovah's Witnesses2/16, 2003, 4.30 p.m., WDR Television
Abuse can happen anywhere, even at places where the facade appears white and the unthinkable seems to be impossible. The reports shows by the example of several Jehovah's Witnesses that it is this environment of a cult that provides an ideal atmosphere to shelter the perpetrators and to silence the victims.
The ad has been financed by donations and organized by the recovery group Ausstieg e.V. (Exit Inc.). Chairman Stephan E. Wolf is also WebMaster of Infolink.
