Filmmaker Andrew Jarecki explores the world of children’s party entertainment and uncovers a disturbing scandal involving the Friedman family. Years prior, David Friedman's father and brother were convicted of child sexual abuse, a history the family has tried to keep hidden. Using home videos and interviews with the accused, alleged victims, and investigators, the documentary examines conflicting narratives and raises complex questions about guilt, innocence, and the challenges of discerning truth in a sensitive and controversial case.
