I've read a lot of great reviews about this documentary. I plan to check it out soon. In the meantime, this was posted today on The Internet Movie Database.
Friedman Victims Ask Oscar Voters To Shun Documentary
Two men who were among 13 persons who accused Jesse Friedman of sexually molesting them as boys have written an open letter to Oscars voters, asking them not to vote for Andrew Jarecki's documentary Capturing The Friedmans. "If this film does win an Oscar, it will be won at the expense of silencing the plaintive voices of abused children once again," the two men, now in their 20s, wrote in a letter that was sent to the Associated Press. Jarecki, the founder of MovieFone, personally financed the movie, which has won numerous awards, including the documentary grand prize at last year's Sundance Film Festival. Critics of the film, who include Abbey Boklan, the judge in the case, and Joyanna Silberg, a child psychologist, have claimed that the film presents the erroneous impression that Jesse Friedman, now 34, and his father, who died in prison in 1995, were railroaded by authorities. Jarecki denies that Capturing the Friedmans is "an advocacy film."
