Capturing the Friedmans
Devastating, critically acclaimed documentary centres on Arnold Friedman, a Long Island math teacher and former magician, and son Jesse, who were accused of sexual molestation in 1987. Director Andrew Jarecki uses the family's extensive home movie collection to chronicle its troubled history and show how the accusations from former students whipped authorities and the media into a frenzy. Academy Award Nomination for Best Documentary 2004. The DVD extras follow on from where the film ends with new evidence, new interviews and new developments that allow the viewer to delve deeper into the Friedman case.
