Capturing the Friedmans (2003)

Carried somewhat by the intrinsically captivating subject matter Capturing the Friedmans is a difficult tour of the heinous carnival sideshow we call law and order. Guilty or not, the reckless indifference to justice shown sinks any faith the viewer has in the legal process.
