Documentary filmmaker, Leo Regan interviews Chris – a man haunted not just by his past, but by a fear of his own capacity for violence. Now married with a child, Chris embarks upon an incredible journey of honest confession with Leo, recounting a life of unpremeditated brutal attacks and shockingly sadistic crime. But as Chris delves deeper and deeper into long-suppressed parts of his self - an unguided and lonely childhood, an isolated spell in prison characterised by powerlessness and rape - he reflects not only upon the consequences of his violence, but is forced to explore the effects of his consuming guilt on his own conscience. Though Scars is played by actors, it is a true story, with all dialogue taken from original interview transcripts. The Observer said it was “Brutal, yet oddly touching, tender and bleak, it should not be missed."
