The shocking story of how a young woman and her psychiatrist ignited the global Satanic Panic of the 1980s with their bestselling memoir Michelle Remembers.
As explored in the documentary, the relationship between Pazder and Smith — authors of Michelle Remembers — began as doctor and patient but they later married. “What surprised us most when we started the film was the number of experts—police officers, journalists, sociologists, podcasters—who believed the Pazders and their book were responsible for igniting the Satanic Panic of the ‘80s and ‘90s, yet no one had ever explored this story in a documentary format,” Horlor and Adams write in a director’s statement. “This is the very first time that Michelle’s sister, Larry’s ex-wife, and Larry’s daughter have gone on the record to tell their side of this story. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to combine all these stories together to reveal the true origins of the Satanic Panic, and show how they connect to the Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies of today.” - Matthew Carey, Deadline.
