In shaw shank redemption there was a grown man who was wrongfully accused. Tragic, but still, he was a man who have had a life and he was not a child. Scum is about criminal youngsters, brutally treated by other violent and sadistic youngsters and brutally treated also by sadistic and violent grown ups who are supposed to rehabilitate them. The rape scene, and the victims suicide and desperation are amongst the most shocking scenes made in movies. Unfortunately, institutions all over the world like the ones in scum, and the victims and sadists in them are still active today. I have watched many shocking and disgusting movies, but none of them comes near Scum. Nothing beats the shocking treatment of innocent young victims, terrorized by sadists.
