“I got to know about this documentary just a few months ago thanks to a professor and finally got around to watch it some days ago after I finished Shoah.
It's a bit hard to say something about it because the other review covers it pretty well, but basically what you have here is an alleged case of pedophilia, and the documentary does a very good job in showing multiple different testimonies and perspectives from the accused, the rest of their family, the supposed victims, policemen in charge of the case at the time, judges, lawyers, and more implied, and each one of them intertwined with something said by someone else, whether complimentary or against the previous declaration, widening and improving the coverage of the matter at hand, while also not doing it too fast so it doesn'” read more
" First Viewing Viewing Date: May 28th Via: YouTube Movies Plot: Documentary on the Friedmans, a seemingly typical, upper-middle-class Jewish family whose world is instantly transformed when the father and his youngest son are arrested and charged with shocking and horrible crimes.

This recently reappeared on my radar via an IMDb recommendation, and I promptly jumped on it"
"A documentary movie about a middle-class American family who is torn apart when the father Arnold and son Jesse are accused of sexually abusing numerous children.

This award winning documentary deals with two very unpleasant themes: pedophilia and destruction of a family"
"11.7, PC Capturing The Friedmans näyttää mielenkiintoisella tavalla ympäristön käyttäytymisen, kun arvostettu yhteisön jäsen, Arnold Friedman, paljastuukin pedofiiliksi.

"Home movies, sibling solidarity, wild allegations of sexual abuse, and the power of suggestion all wage battle over the truth, forever disfiguring the face of a seemingly normal Jewish family."
" 6.28 Unforgettable documentary of a family faced with scandal when the father is arrested for child pornography and possible child fornication. Director Andrew Jarecki's captured the family Friedmans at its best and worse, a must see film."
