Nominated for an Academy Award, Capturing The Friedmans (More4, Monday, 10pm), is an engrossing documentary from director Andrew Jarecki which refuses to play ball on the scandal that surrounded the subject of his film. Viewing this doc', it is debatable whether the retired Long Island teacher, Arnold Friedman, arrest for paedophilia is a suburban scandal or a hysterical witch hunt.

Jarecki initially was going to make a film about children's birthday party entertainers in New York, including the popular David Friedman. However, during his research, the filmmaker learned that David Friedman's brother, Jesse, and his father, Arnold, had been convicted of child sexual abuse. Jarecki interviewed many of the children involved and ended up making a film about the Friedmans themselves. Comprising the Friedmans' own revealing home movies, interviews and news footage, Jarecki's film raises disturbing questions about the law's attitude to those accused of sex crimes. This film will have you debating and thinking all night. [Mof Gimmers]
