An Oscar nominated documentary about a middle-class American family who is torn apart when the father Arnold and son Jesse are accused of sexually abusing numerous children.

Directed by Andrew Jarecki. Starring Arnold Friedman, Elaine Friedman, David Friedman, Jesse Friedman and Seth Friedman.
Lyradrift plots Capturing the Friedmans as a star at the centre of its own sky, with related films orbiting it as satellites, gathered from TMDB recommendations, shared themes, Wikidata links (same director, writer, series, source material or subject) and closeness of feel, then chosen for the strongest evidence — the closer and brighter a star, the more strongly it is related. Fly to any satellite to make it the new centre and keep exploring.
