Erasing Family

Synopsis

Ginger Gentile's "Erasing Family" presents the stark realities faced by children caught in the turmoil of family court decisions. The film reveals how these courts often erase one parent from a child's life, leading to severe emotional trauma. Psychologists label this phenomenon as parental alienation, a form of child psychological abuse that can result in depression, low self-esteem, and even suicide. With over 20 million children affected in the United States, the documentary calls for urgent family court reform to address this preventable crisis.
