Capturing The Friedmans is a non-fiction film that explores the elusive nature of the truth through the prism of one of the strangest criminal cases in American history. The Friedmans seem at first to be a typical family. Arnold Friedman is an award winning school teacher, his wife Elaine a homemaker. One Thanksgiving, the family is gathered at home preparing for a quiet holiday dinner. In an instant, a police battering ram splinters the front door and officers rush into the house. Arnold and his 18 year old son are both arrested, led away in handcuffs through a maze of newsmen, lights, cameras and trucks assembled in their front yard. As a convoluted investigation unfolds, father and son are indicted for hundreds of shocking crimes. The film follows their story – from the public’s perspective and, most remarkably, through unique footage of the family in crisis, shot contemporaneously by family members inside the Friedman house.
