Sunday Night Film Forum

Sunday Night Film Forums @ JCAS

In the 1980’s the Friedmans, a middle-class family on Long Island, became the focus of a series of horrendous child-abuse charges. While the case grew both in magnitude of allegation as well as nation-wide coverage, the oldest son secretly turned his home movie camera on his family, documenting their ordeal from within. Combining modern interviews with archived news reels and candid home footage, award-winning director Andrew Jarecki explores the elusive nature of truth when retold through the lens of multiple peoples’ memory.

Come see why Capturing The Friedmans won 12 Best Documentary awards in 2003, including the New York Film Critics Circle.
