If you are Andrew Jarecki, you start making a film about the clowns that work the birthday parties of the excessively rich New York set. When you figure out why one clown is angry, you start making a movie about the scandal that hit his family in the 80s. You tell family that you believe the father and brother convicted of many counts of molestation and abuse are innocent. You then market the movie as a moral/judicial question. You film all the movie related functions, including when the documented individuals argue with one another at the premieres. You add all this to the dvd package, but hold back on including critical tapes that you say exist, instead including a transcript read by a lawyer.
We saw the dvd of Capturing the Friedmans this past week. The film is enhanced with the DVD extras. A sense of the extras and the fim can be gained by going to the official site for the film.
