Bob Niemack
Join Bob Niemack, Editor of the Oscar and Emmy-winning documentary “Scared Straight!” for a screening of this controversial film. Then hear the stories behind its filming, editing, and surprising release. Why was the project nearly abandoned just one day after the film was processed? What secrets were hidden by the editing? Learn about the Congressional hearings, the sequels and the spin offs. Enjoy some of the SNL spoofs. Did you see it when it premiered 48 years ago? What was your reaction? Does it hold true today?
If you have any questions please contact the organizer Bob Niemack.
