| Anyone else seen it? Its a documentary about a family where the father and youngest brother were arrested for child abuse in the 1980's. At various points I was convinced that virtually everyone who was interviewed was telling the truth and then 5 minutes later I was sure they were all lying. |

It all happened in the 80's and the documentary was only made a couple of years ago. Since then evidence has been uncovered suggesting they might not have been guilty and the film gets virtually everyone involved (the family, the victims, the police, the judge, the lawyers etc.) to give their side of the story. What makes it worth watching is that, after they'd been charged, the family bought a video camera and filmed their day to day life, arguments they had and things like that. Proper reality TV.

Although I appreciate you bringing new evidence to the table he looked like a quality clown to me. Did you see those huge red glasses Dennis Taylor-esque he had? Those are comedy items of the highest order. |
