- This week we had the pleasure of chatting with our film festival junkie and host, Jennifer Pak, who gave us the details of the movie events taking place in Montreal. It's great to have you back Jenn, we've missed you over the summer! On her film circuit, she had a chance to see the brilliant documentary Capturing the Friedmans, directed by Andrew Jarecki. Arnold and Jesse Friedman are accused of committing crimes ranging from possessing child pornography to sexually abusing children, yet what makes this film so fascinating is to see all the people in the doc describe their version of the events that took place. As the doc progresses, more and more information is unearthed, leading you, as the viewer, to second guess what will take place next. Jenn and I highly recommend seeing Capturing the Friedmans and as one of my favorite bands, Bad Religion, puts it: "sometimes truth is stranger than fiction."
