Chicken Hawk: Men Who Love Boys is a 1994 award-winning documentary produced, written and directed by Adi Sideman. The film profiles members of the pedophile/pederasty organization North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) who discuss sexual relationships between men and boys below the age of consent. The film is an exposé on the group's controversial beliefs and their clandestine lifestyle. Sideman's evenhanded approach provides the audience with an insight into the group members' psyche. The film has drawn attention for its unique approach: letting its subjects, the NAMBLA Members, incriminate themselves in a public forum. Since its release, the film has been screened for the FBI, university criminology departments and other law enforcement agencies.

The term "chickenhawk" is used in gay slang to refer to an older man who chases after younger men.

Synopsis

The film describes the organization and its history. It presents a series of interviews with NAMBLA members who describe their feelings towards boys and justifications for such feelings.

The film, titled after a poem by Wheeler, details the abuse he received at the hands of his classmates because of his homosexuality. It also presents interviews and a cross-nation road-trip with members of Young Gay America, an online teen organization for gays, and compares the teasing and physical abuse Jim suffered to the increasingly open attitudes towards homosexuality six years later when the film was first shown.

Florida Justice Transitions abrite 120 délinquants sexuels condamnés. Comme dans de nombreux autres États américains, les délinquants sexuels ne sont pas autorisés à vivre à moins de 300 mètres des lieux fréquentés par les enfants. Pour cette raison, de nombreux délinquants sexuels vivent sous des ponts ou dans des bois – ou dans le parc à roulottes Florida Justice Transitions – connu sous le nom de Pervert Park. Les crimes commis par les résidents vont de simples délits à des actes horribles insupportables à envisager.
