Whistleblowers : The Jehovah's Witness - the fifth estate

Over a decade ago, Holly Brewer told the fifth estate an incredible story of a young girl pitted against her religion. Growing up as a Jehovah's Witness in New Hampshire, Brewer learned two things: the Bible and how to keep quiet. Her silence resulted in years of sexual abuse by her stepfather, a respected member of their church. When her mother asked church elders for help, they did nothing to stop the abuse. And when Holly finally went to the police she and her family became pariahs in their own community. Holly eventually turned her pain into music, today she writes and sings about injustice, though now less about her own and more how it can be overcome.
