Synopsis

The Friedmans are a seemingly typical, upper-middle-class Jewish family whose world is transformed when the father and his youngest son are arrested and charged with shocking and horrible crimes. Caught up in hysteria and with their community in an uproar, the family undergoes a media onslaught.

Our take

Andrew Jarecki took home the Grand Jury Prize in Sundance and an Oscar® nod for his engrossing debut. A documentary Rashomon, questioning the many-angled sides of the truth, it’s even more powerful and full of twists than the director’s hit HBO series, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.
