The documentary as true-life suspense mystery came to the fore, and might have been invented, by Errol Morris, when he released “The Thin Blue Line” in 1988. It was the rare nonfiction film that had a demonstrable real-world impact. Beyond that, the movie forged a uniquely gripping experience by presenting itself as a kind of documentary film noir. You could say that Capote and Mailer, in “In Cold Blood” and “The Executioner’s Song,” got there first, but in the world of nonfiction film we hadn’t seen this sort of elevated tabloid page-turner before. This was still an age when documentaries were viewed, by too many, as medicine, and Morris’s techniques were revolutionary, as well as controversial. (His then-novel use of dramatic reenactments was thought to have contributed to the film’s failure to snag an Oscar nomination.)

Paul Fronczak’s story is true, but it is filled with the kind of wild twists and turns that you might expect from an overstuffed detective novel.
At age 10, Fronczak happened across a trove of newspaper clippings about his parents, Dora and Chester, who made international headlines when their baby was kidnapped from his hospital bed and found two years later. After confronting his mother, Fronczak discovered that he was the kidnapped toddler in the articles. But his story didn’t end there. In fact, as a new documentary “The Lost Sons” recounts, that was only the start of a decades-long quest. With the help of DNA testing and some intrepid sleuthing, Fronczak discovered that he was not Dora and Chester’s biological son and that the real Paul Fronczak was living in Manton, Mich. having been rechristened Kevin Baty. And, Fronczak found out that he was actually Jack Rosenthal...

A twisty true-crime story loses much of its appeal in Ursula Macfarlane’s The Lost Sons, a “who am I?” doc whose subject is more fascinated with that question than most viewers will be. Paul Fronczak was ten years old when he learned he had been the victim of a foiled newborn abduction; only decades later did he realize his story was even more convoluted. Though well shot, the CNN-coproduced film always feels TV-grade at best; its level of drama (not to mention its failure to find anything universal in the specifics of Fronczak’s tale) is out-of-place on a ...

Following the success of their BAFTA and Emmy-nominated 2018 documentary Three Identical Strangers, CNN Films and Raw TV are collaborating again on a new film that will tell the extraordinary story of Paul Fronczak.
The Lost Sons follows Fronczak as he embarks on a quest for answers after he discovered an unnerving mystery about his parents when he was just 10 years old. While searching for Christmas presents, he found newspaper clippings about his parents: images of them grieving for a kidnapped baby and then celebrating two years later over a toddler found abandoned and returned to them.
Was Fronczak the missing baby? And if so, where was he for two years of his life? Directed by Ursula Macfarlane (Untouchable; Charlie Hebdo: Three Days That Shook Paris), Fronczak’s story is told through a blend of re-enactments, testimony of close family and first-hand witnesses, news footage, and family archive.

CNN Films is developing a documentary titled “The Lost Sons,” a stranger-than-fiction account of a baby who was kidnapped from his mother’s hospital room.
The non-fiction film centers on a Michigan man named Paul Fronczak. At age 10, he unintentionally discovered newspaper clippings about his parents, who made headlines for grieving their kidnapped baby and celebrating two years later when an abandoned toddler was found. Fronczak was unsure if he was the kidnapped baby mentioned in the articles — or where he may have been for those missing years. And so began a decade-spanning investigation to find answers about his true identity.
“Nothing excites me more than a real storytelling challenge, and this is a mystery tale like no other,” said director Ursula Macfarlane. “The Fronczak story has twists and turns you won’t believe and explores profound themes to which we can all relate: the importance and meaning of identity and family.
