追捕弗雷德曼家族

影片讲述了Firedman一家是如何因为一桩突如其来的案件而被毁掉的真实故事。在那个表面平静、实际上充满了虚伪、戒备和歇斯底里的典型美国小镇里，一个有恋童癖但似乎并没有胆量为非作歹的中年人、木讷的计算机教师Arnold Friedman被人视为奸淫无数男孩的恶魔投入监狱，最后服药自杀；小儿子也因为同样罪名被判14年。这桩案件的内情至今是个迷。In the late 1980's, the Friedmans - father and respected computer and music teacher Arnold Friedman, mother and housewife Elaine Friedman, and their three grown sons, David Friedman, Seth Friedman and Jesse Friedman - of Great Neck, Long Island, are seemingly your typical middle class American family. They all admit that the marriage was by no means close to being harmonious - Arnold and Elaine eventually got divorced - but the sons talk of their father, while also not being always there for them, as being a good man. This façade of respectability masks the fact that Arnold was buying and distributing child pornography. Following a sting operation to confirm this fact, the authorities began to investigate Arnold for sexual abuse of the minor-aged male students of his computer classes, which he held in the basement of the family home. Based on interviews with the students, not only was Arnold charged with and ultimately convicted of multiple counts of sodomy and sexual abuse of these boys but so was eighteen year old Jesse, who was mentioned by many as the aggressor of the two in the acts. Arnold admitted that he is a pedophile, but that he did not abuse the boys in his class as charged and convicted. The trial process brought out the dysfunction that previously existed within the family. But the issue of Arnold and Jesse's guilt of these acts is hotly debated among the family, among the authorities, among the media and among the students of the computer classes.
