The McMartin family's lives are turned upside down when they are accused of serious child molestation. The family run a school for infants. An unqualified child cruelty "expert" videotapes the children describing outrageous stories of abuse. One of the most expensive and long running trials in US legal history, exposes the lack of evidence and unprofessional attitudes of the finger pointers which kept one of the accused in jail for over 5 years without bail.
Editor's Verdict
"The plot description focuses entirely on a serious, protracted legal drama involving child molestation allegations. There is no indication that the setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution are connected to the Christmas season in any meaningful way. This film does not fit any conventional or tangential definition of a Christmas movie."
