Overview
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.

How It Feels

A meticulously assembled documentary that fractures the idea of truth itself, showing how an American family collapsed under criminal accusations with no physical evidence. It leaves you unsettled, questioning not just guilt or innocence, but the very nature of testimony and belief.
