Well made documentary by a man who as a kid just happened to have had much of his childhood documented on film. His dad was a video cam freak, and his uncle was a ham to boot. They seemed like a nice typical if somewhat goofy jewish family, but things are not always as they seem.....Sasha Neulinger is the main character, and we see him as an entertaining child, with his cute "cabbage patch kid" looks mugging for the camera . You get the impression he is a typical larval "class clown" with a slightly more cynical bent than average. But it turns out there is more than meets the eye.
As he ages he becomes more obese, and he develops a dark side to his sarcastic wit . As time progresses he gets downright scary, physically hurting his innocent, cherubic little sister. Later, he is filmed doing lewd, wickedly disturbing looking dances in his under-roos, which for good reason seem to shock and appall his mother .....
Sasha's "acting out" goes beyond even a boy at the bottom of the social food chain with his peers, and you wonder "what is going on ?" Turns out there is reason to be concerned- there were multiple pedophiles within the family abusing these poor children, and what makes it particularly chilling is that we have gotten to know them already on camera, and other than being an amusing gaggle of hamish goofballs there was nothing out of the ordinary you could pick up. The media and plaintiffs lawyers has led us to obsess over Catholic priests, somehow forgetting that the incidence of pedophila is the same across all denominations , and it can happen anywhere, most often actually within our owns families .
