This hour: A dark secret that threatens to tear apart a family.
A Sense of Duty
by Heather Stewart (360 Documentaries, ABC, 2011)
A man with four children, married over twenty years, hides a dark secret. It is so well buried that it takes a confluence of many seemingly unrelated events over many years for this secret to come to light. When it does, it tears apart his marriage, his work, and his sense of himself. But in the end, the excavation and exposure of his past saves his life.
