Are All Men Pedophiles? is a 2012 award-winning[1][2][3] documentary film about pedophilia and hebephilia directed by Dutch media producer an-Willem Breure and presented by model Savannah van Zweeden. Apart from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, the entire film was financed privately, mainly by the 23-year old Breure.[4]

Theme
The documentary explores what it regards as a "pedophilia hysteria" and argues there is a "witch-hunt" against men. Furthermore, it argues that in an effort to protect children, society has begun to isolate men. The film suggests that all men are viewed as potential pedophiles and examines the political and social consequences of that assumption.[7]
The film's tagline is "Eighteen Is Just A Number", expressing its principal claim, that all men are hebephiles, which it defines as attraction to teenagers. The film argues that society needs to make a distinction between this and true pedophilia—a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children.[4]
The documentary looks at pedophilia from a cultural and professional perspective, interviewing several experts, neuroscientists, psychologists, sexologists and model-scouts.[8] Contributors included neurobiologist Dick Swaab, forensic psychologist Corine de Ruiter, international model-booker Jinnah Lou Domino, as well as former Party for Neighbourly Love, Freedom, and Diversity spokesperson Marthijn Uittenbogaard.
