Synopsis

Michael 'Mini' Cooper knew he was different from an early age. Fiercely independent, he challenged injustice and questioned what he perceived to be the irrational belief systems of both parents and teachers alike. But no one wanted to listen and they didn't want him heard. After several failed attempts at beating him into submission, he fought back with devastating consequences. Michael Cooper didn't always know the truth but he understood the lie. Some have described him as a warrior of justice but for him it was always about the human spirit and the right to let breathe freely.

Revue de presse

"He tells it all, without self-pity. He certainly writes well - it was his obvious but anarchic intelligence that made such an impact in the original documentary. Yet there is still that authentic note of anger... Indeed, it should be on the curriculum for trainee social workers and child-protection officers. It affords a rare opportunity, to echo the title of that original 1975 documentary, to hear the inside story." --The Independent
