Summary

Filmmaker Andrew Jarecki and journalist Susan Orlean on this edition of Fresh Air. Andrew Jarecki's new documentary is Capturing the Friedmans. It's about a seemingly normal Long Island, New York family. At Thanksgiving dinner, police shatter the front door with a battering ram and arrest the father and son for allegations of pedophilia and child molestation. The film takes a look at the convoluted case and attempts to determine the true story. Capturing the Friedmans won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2003 Sundance festival. This is Jarecki's first feature film. He was also the founder and CEO of Moviefone, which was acquired by AOL in 1999 for nearly $400 million. Susan Orlean is a staff writer at The New Yorker. In 1994 she wrote a profile of David Friedman, one of the Friedman sons. David was known as Silly Billy, a popular clown who was a favorite at many a children's birthday party in New York City. Orlean wrote the profile before the story came out surrounding David's father and brother. Orlean is also the author of the bestselling book, The Orchid Thief the basis of the film Adaptation.
