| User ReviewRonald PThis movie was a great story that show how two loving parents were falsely accused and convicted of child molestation in the 1980s. It was based on a true story. It's sad because it shows that in real life there are rare cases where this may actually happen. This movie almost brought me into tears. I really enjoyed it. For those of you like emotional drama movies, this is wanted to check out. |

| User ReviewEmma Bmind blowing that this actualy happend. that the social servis brain washed these children into beleving they were taken for their protection from imagined abuse. they should be protecting real abused childeren and not splitting happy familys up. |
| User ReviewBuddhika GGreat movie about travesty of U.S. Legal System in the 80's which destroyed a happy family..This movie really moved me and helped me to think of all the things we take for granted..Performances of all the actors was just excellent..Remarkable Movie!!! |
| User ReviewCrusader .This is where the child molestation witch hunts began: Kern County, California, 1980s. At least one film (this one), a documentary, and a book have been written about this grave injustice used for political gain by an overzealous DA, Ed Jagels, who should have been sent to prison for what he did to these innocent parents and children! |
| User ReviewTing-Ting WNot the best acting, but this has got to be one of the SCARIEST movies I have seen in a while. It is especially scary because it is based off true events happened between 1982 - 1996, quite recent. I am so angry that the judge served his whole entire term of a glorious career. These prosecutors should have been sent to prison for what they did to these innocent parents and children! |
| User ReviewCynthia SScary, scary stuff. A true, and very surreal, story. |
