The Friedmans are a respectable middle-class Long Island family, addicted to recording their daily lives - on super-8 in the early days, then later on videotape. But their world crumbles when the father, a respected teacher, is accused - along with the youngest of his three sons - of molesting children. Unbelievably, the arrest, trial and its horrible aftermath are all chronicled in the family's own home movies, and the result is a remarkable tangle of contradictions that will haunt you long after the end-credits roll. Compelling and thought-provoking, this multi award-winning documentary has captivated audiences the world over with its intimate exploration of an emotionally-charged subject matter.
