Fraud broke onto the 2016 festival scene with instant notoriety after its controversial premiere at the Hot Docs Film Festival this past April. Though labeled a documentary at the notable premier, much of the audience found the suggestion enraging. Here we label it as a hybrid work of fiction... Labels aside, the filmmakers constructed the story after discovering countless hours of family footage on YouTube and mined them to create a piece that is simultaneously extremely original, enjoyably controversial and intensely uncomfortable. We anticipate that the Sidewalk audience will have a lot to think and say about Fraud.
