Family Court Crisis Background

Film & Video

Family Court Crisis: Our Children At Risk
Documentary produced by CJE, featuring interviews with individuals whose lives have been affected by the dysfunctional family law system and expert analyses of what has gone wrong.

No Way Out But One
From award winning producers Garland Waller and Barry Nolan comes a documentary on the first American woman to be granted asylum by the Netherlands on the grounds of domestic violence.

Small Justice
Documentary produced by Garland Waller, a Boston University communications professor, that focuses on the family court crisis in America.

Breaking the Silence: Children’s Stories
A 2005 documentary by PBS about the custody issues in the family court system.

Divorce Corp
A 2014 exposé of the inner workings of the $50 billion a year U.S. family law industry that shines a light on the appalling waste and shameless collusive practices seen daily in family courts. Worth seeing, despite our opposition to the  false abuse allegations and mandatory shared parenting misinformation.
