True Crime To Stream and Read, From Moral Panics to Stolen Children

Using controversial recovered-memory therapy, psychiatrist Larry Pazder claimed to have unlocked his patient Michelle Smith’s abuse at the hands of Satanists who were stealing babies. The book he wrote, Michelle Remembers, is what ignited the Satanic Panic of the ’80s and ’90s, which may sound like a ridiculous and funny thing to anyone who didn’t live through it (or has since learned about the reality), but it led to many arrests and court cases accusing people of abusing children in Satanic rituals, many of whom were daycare workers. The documentary, streaming on Tubi and Amazon Prime, dives into how the book ignited a moral panic and how it’s still impacting society today. You can watch the trailer here.
