Park Productions Screening New Documentary

09/18/08

On Friday, September 26, at 4:00 p.m. in Park Auditorium, Park Productions will screen a new documentary about a controversial and important topic. It is an intolerable fact that some children are abused; yet, false allegations of abuse have lead to tragic miscarriages of justice. One scientist has spent his career trying to answer the question many people wish he wouldn't ask: should we believe the kids?

At Cornell University, renowned psychologist Stephen Ceci studies the accuracy of children's courtroom testimony, particularly in cases alleging physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. Truth and Consequence is a 37-minute documentary short that focuses on Professor Ceci's research and three court cases in which he testified as an expert witness.
