REWIND
Feature Documentary » PBS Independent Lens » 2019
Sasha Joseph Neulinger's harrowing yet astonishingly composed autobiographical documentary uncovers the childhood sexual abuse he and his sister suffered at the hands of three members of their extended family. Sasha Joseph Neulinger interviews his parents, psychiatrists and the police to fill in his memory gaps and build a disturbingly precise picture, conveying both the cyclical nature of such secret horrors and the difficulty in prosecuting cases that involve children.
“A deeply personal, revealing, and unforgettable piece of filmmaking…Neulinger’s courageous documentary transcends his own specific story to become something greater about healing, cycles of abuse, and how closely we have to listen to our children and watch their behavior in order to protect them.”
‘Rewind’ rises above the familiar to the realm of the genuinely inspirational.
