I found this to be a strangely haunting tale that was with me for a long while after. It tells the story of an every day family who get feed into the hysteria and hype of an American legal system in the throws of a moral panic over child satanic abuse.
Falsely accused of horrid and wicked abuse of their own and another family?s children. The parents are imprisoned after the prosecutors gerrymander a case against them.
They inflame opinion until as the couples legal advisor says,
?Not even god could defend these people?.
You realise now just how easy it is be manipulated by emotional appeals to the protective instinct in all parents.
The thing that really worried me though was if all this effort is put in to convicting innocents, who is looking after the interests of vulnerable and at risk children.
Watch this film before getting wound up by the next big tabloid story.
Thank God I dont live in the USA I was thinking as I watched this harrowing true brilliant movie.
All the performances are just great (the boys were wonderful)
My eyes were filled with real tears at the end of this movie.My motto has always been take a good look at yourself before making any judgement on others It deserves 5 stars plus
