Andrew Jarecki’s film raises as many questions as answers and one cannot decide whether the two are guilty or not.
Capturing the Friedmans is about the middle-class Long Island family which was torn apart in 1987 when child-molestation charges were filed against their two family members Arnold and Jesse Friedman . The charges followed a police raid which showed kiddie p*** belonging to dad Arnold, a respected high school science teacher. On account of the recovery of the p*** he and his 18-year-old son, Jesse, were subsequently accused of molesting dozens of young boys.
The trouble and their travails are painstakingly documented in this film. Theses videotaped compilation includes family footage recorded by another Friedman son, David. The feature shows sessions between Arnold and his attorneys. There are instances of conflicting testimony from alleged victims, posturing by police investigators and legal teams. Lastly there are heartrending family farewells which are documented in this film.

"He who would do some great thing in this short life, must apply himself to the work with such a concentration of his forces as to the idle spectators, who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity." – John Foster
I see your point. But sentencing some kid for raping dozens of kids, supposedly f****** them all up the a***…it’s too absurd for words. I don’t know this case either, but it’s obvious the prosecution was full of perverts in the first place.
@PlatoJaspers All Im saying is, I watched and read a lot of other things about this case, and this film was incredibly biased and did not show you all the details of the case, like there was a third person , a friend of jesse’s who was also tried and sentenced, why wasnt that mentioned in the film? The whole thing is messed up and crazy and from that documentary i really couldnt tell who was lying and who was tellin the truth by the end of it.
@KaterinaPritzakis What about the kid, who was sentenced too? The US has a legal system it should be ashamed of.
@8008111 the media got out of control yes but the guy was a pedofile – he admitted to molesting 2 children anyway and that was after swearing to his wife it was only one, and that was after swearing he hadnt done anything – the leap frog thing was obviously a load of rubbish and that particular witness had undergone hypnosis and remembered nothing until after the hypnosis, the fact that his testimony lead to 35 counts of sodomy just wouldnt happen now – the lawyers were terrible.
it looks like jesse was probably innocent.
@8008111 they said in the movie there was stacks of child p*** in a mannila folfer behind the piano and in the film they SHOW a big stack of manilla folfers behind the piano although they do show the actual p*** in the folder, they do however show all his magazines layed out and there was a f*** load
After watching this disturbing documentary only one thing is clear to me- both sons are faggots because they got fucked by their dad. That is testimony to the fathers guilt.
Wadsworth Constant Applies
I am a diehard child advocate with a strong tendency to believe the victim. As the film goes on, it becomes clear that Arnold, this somewhat meek, nebbish figure, probably isn’t the monster he’s made out to be. Like the idea he lined the children up naked in a leap frog position, and then proceeded to penetrate them one by one. The police claimed that Arnold had stacks upon stacks of child pornography; and the photos of the house taken during the investigation show nothing. Sad film, must-see
I found this doc very scary. It’s as though every single character is dishonest, secretive, and deceptive.The mother hates the father and her sons, the oldest son treats his mother like dirt, the cops are mean-spirited, the lawyers are dishonest, and the father is clearly not being honest with his family.
This documentary is so disturbing… but so good. Where the truth ends, and fantasy begins is insane.
@dronespace i lol’d!
Hmm…this movie is so damn hard to come up with a final decision…things we know for sure…arnold friedman was a pedophile (on what scale is undetermined) and he collected magazines of child p***….as far as sodomizing and abusing children…how for years would these children not have shown any signs (emotional or physical) of such abuse? They would clearly display signs of abuse that their parents would have recognized..I believe he is guilty but not to the extent of which the law said
KASSEM G ABSOLUTELY DID NOT SEND ME
@vOdKa666666666666666 like I said, the point of the documentary was to make up you own mind.
I heard Gman made a version called ‘Capturing the Freemans’
davids just as much of a scumbag. they are all clearly g** men who haven’t admitted it yet, which at their age makes you think they were abused by their father. Howard being g** shows that he and Arnold probably did have s** when younger. How can David blame the mother? If there’s one innocent to be had here it is her. This was a really good movie but these weirdos make me f****** sick, they clearly did these crimes.
This is the best movie preview I’ve ever seen. The film was also excellent.
team fried 4 lyyfffff
scumbaggg friedmansssssssss jew scum
I will endeavour to watch this documentary/film. Responding to some of the comments seen here. If you view things by the superficial, you will be doomed. The trouble is judging a book by its cover, what does that actually mean! If society puts forward an ideal (cover) and you fall below that; you are bad? Or if you are what society says you should be; educated, wealthy etc.. then you are good? But what of your actions, how do these speak? No one should be above the law.
This movie is like something that Atom Egoyan would’ve made, because the truth is so unclear.1. The lawyers are dishonest2. The police are hateful and vindictive3. The mother is very angry and unhappy4. The oldest son is very rude to his mother5. The youngest son seems bewildered by what’s going onBut the bottom line is the father, who is clearly not being honest with his family. It’s obvious that he’s keeping something from them.
@benfamilyvideos I applaud your honesty.
also, IF YOU ARE INOCENT AND THE POLICE CONVICT YOU..THEY CAN MAKE YOU ADMIT SOMETHING YOU DIDNT DO. A LOT INOCENT PEOPLE ARE ACUSED…
no, he didnt do! he didnt have the child colection. he hada a video from his sister dancing balet. if you read more about you will see THEY DIDNT DO. After 13 year was prove the police was wrong! This is old information. Read something about now, not from the past. Ater 13 year some investigation found out they never did that. they interview more the 30 ex student from the time he had the computer class and just 2 said they did..the rest can prove he was a good teacher!!
