About Prisoners of Incest
Docudrama examining the effects of incest on a family - the secrecy, guilt, fear, and lack of communication that distort the structure of a family's relationships and make them prisoners.
Directed by Penny Cherns, Prisoners of Incest leans on a strong ensemble — Ian Jentle, Sue Rogerson, Sara Sugarman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1984.
