Synopsis
Capturing the Friedmans
An Oscar nominated documentary about a middle-class American family who is torn apart when the father Arnold and son Jesse are accused of sexually abusing numerous children. Director Jarecki interviews people from different sides of this tragic story and raises the question of whether they were rightfully tried when they claim they were innocent and there was never any evidence against them.
Maternal Instinct
When a Texas state trooper pulled over a woman driving erratically on the highway in 2020, she claimed she had just given birth — but her story didn’t add up.
