Capturing the Friedmans - Arnie's Party
Posted on: January 23, 2004 | Views: | Comment
Arnie Friedman was the father portion of the accused father-son pedophile team from Great Neck, NY, which was revealed in 1987. This clip is a home video shot of Arnie Friedman's retirement party.
The foundation of a seemingly normal, upper-middle-class Jewish family is rocked when the father and his young son are arrested and charged with heinous crimes. This documentary about the accused father-and-son pedophile team includes their disturbing family home video, interviews with victims (and alleged victims), police and prosecuters. The winner of the 2003 Sundance Film Festival Jury Prize, Capturing the Friedmans examines the explosion of publicity as the Great Neck family is torn apart in 1987 by the sordid revelations of the story and the scandalous suspicions of the community. It's a tortured tale that's swimming in guilt, pain and ambiguity.
