Capturing the Friedmans is an HBO documentary film directed by Andrew Jarecki. It focuses on the 1980s investigation of Arnold and Jesse Friedman for child molestation. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Documentary Feature in 2003. (Thanks Wiki!)
This is one documentary that has stuck with me since I first saw it. I have never changed my mind so often during a documentary as this one. Was Mr Friedman guilty... Hell yeah....ten minutes later... No way! ....Ten more minutes....Burn him in hell.... and so on it went. A film to make you angry, sad and confused and in my eyes expertly portrayed and executed.
Although the subject matter is disturbing and unpalatable, it's one I would recommend but prepare to not have a convincing conclusion.
