Andrew Jarecki在电影release后还在自掏腰包采访了14个当年被“虐待”的小孩。最后竟然证明Jesse是无！罪！的！
受访者表示当年警察各种诱惑他们还说什么你如果不承认你被强奸了长大后你就会是gay...
现在the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals 在2010年宣布了“a reasonable likelihood Jesse Friedman was wrongfully convicted”，支持者建立了好几个网站类似http://www.justiceforjesse.com帮助Jesse搜集证据，洗刷冤情。
另外，现在Jesse结婚了，但是生活得不怎么好。事件的“施害者”和“受害者”都受到了或多或少的消极影响。
Andrew Jarecki借这部片子对美国司法公正程度、警察审讯时的严谨程度及媒体舆论导向的影响都提出异议。纽约时报喜欢这片子得不得了反复review了好几次还说它是one of the most heartbreaking films ever made about an American family。我个人也是很喜欢。
下面的是刚刚看完时的一些感想。写英文是想锻炼一哈反正要交作业TQT
After watching documentaries for half term, CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS has been the most attractive and fictional one which intensively caught my attention.
A well-made documentary is based on an interesting topic, which can only be captured by accident. Andrew Jarecki was lucky enough to make out this film with various angles of his directing and rich information, the family video, for incidence.
At first I was so confused by Jesse, the last son of Arnold, who was so much determined that he was innocent even with his own brothers on the car before he went to the court the last time. After reading some reviews on this film I figured out gradually that Jessie was brained washed by his dad with his value because he was abused by his dad when he was a child. That was why he never felt guilty and his dad had been regretful at the very end and suicided.
As for Arnold, he was absolutely guilty based on his childhood experience. Fortunately his younger brother did not remember a single thing about it or it might cause other crimes.
Anyway, the root cause of this tragedy can be traced from the divorce of Arnold's parents and, in particular, the misleading behavior of his mother.
The previous family videos and photos of the Friedmans' rose a strong contrast with their abnormal and disgusting behavior.

Had a discussion in today's class.
My professor just rose different attitude towards Jesse's attorney as well as the witness, especially the guy who lying in the sofa through the interview. As far as he's concerned, the attorney is reasonably doubtful, and slightly performed in the interview.
This triggers issues on the real JUSTICE in the court.
