Few documentaries induce as much visceral outrage as Kids for Cash, Robert May’s account of the eponymous juvenile court scandal that rocked the nation when it came to light several years ago. Concerning two judges who were sentenced to prison for accepting kickbacks from the developer of a private juvenile detention center to which over 3,000 children were sentenced to draconian prison terms, this riveting documentary is a real-life thriller that rivals the most dramatic fiction in terms of emotional impact. Having recently received its world premiere at the Doc NYC festival, Kids for Cash is poised to garner significant attention upon its theatrical release early next year.
