-Comment: William Greenblatt (pictured on top, I think British), one or two other kids at school (background only) and I think at least two men in bibs. Bibs are quite dark, maybe still raw denim?

Thanks also for this suggestion. I only checked this at highspeed. First I had problems finding the boy in bibs and there are only few scenes with him. I only noticed one very brief scene showing his complete bibs (backside at 35 minutes like the first pic, school pic at 32 and one other scene with the boy only (headshot) at 9 min.) Later there is a teen and a grown up Bobby. The main plot is about the abuse memories of a woman, novel "Childhoof Thief" by Rose Mary Evans. Also starring Ossie Davis (man in bibs) and Canadian Zachary Bennett ("Looking For Miracles, rating 3, Road to Avonlea (rating 7), and other entries here).

Typical "Southern States" Hallmark drama (this is set in Tennessee), but there are better ones. I also like dark and raw denim bibs but the actor is quite young and there are more handsome actors. Film aka Chasing Secrets.

Rating 4-5. Update: Also men in bibs.
