My Review-
This is a hard documentary to watch, it is also hard to figure out who to believe in a situation like this, in the end you have to decide who you believe from what you have seen in the documentary. It is also about a family that fell about due to the accusations that took place and the aftermath, a family having to chose sides it never a good thing and this is exactly what happened here, to this family. They all sided with the father not wanting to believe what took place and standing behind him saying that it never happened and it was all lies. Its hard to actually believe who was telling the truth, when the father admitted to the crime that he was accused of, and when the who was also accused said he had nothing to do with it. Even though at times I found myself a little bored with this doc, it was still interesting at times; the back story of the father, hearing what the prosecution thought of the family and how they were dealing with things. Most of the documentary is also told through home video that one of the sons took during the course of the trial and we get to see how the family deals with everything that's happening some take it really seriously while others want nothing to do with it. I do not want to really say what the movie is about since it is a tough subject to watch to begin with and if you do watch it than maybe you can decide who to believe, because I am still having a hard time deciding.
