Just, Melvin: Just Evil is a 2000 American documentary by James Ronald Whitney about his grandfather, Melvin Just, and the devastating consequences of the sexual abuse Just inflicted on their family. In it they detail their experiences of abuse over decades at his hands, & even admit to knowing of a murder he committed to keep his crimes quiet. It premiered at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival and aired on HBO on April 22, 2001. The film was well received overall; critic Roger Ebert called Just, Melvin "one of the most powerful documentaries I've seen."

James Ronald Whitney, at the time a Wall Street executive, returns to his rural hometown of Carlotta, California, and interviews his family members about his maternal step-grandfather, Melvin E. Just. Just sexually abused 10 of Whitney's relatives, including his mother, uncle, aunts and step-aunts, some as young as 2 years old. The abuse resulted in dysfunction spanning three generations of the family. Several of the aunts reveal they are sleeping in their vehicles. Whitney's aunts discuss their struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, and bouts of homelessness and prostitution.

It's a long video but super interesting.
