You can stream Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995) on Max with a subscription.

The McMartin family's lives are turned upside down when they are accused of serious child molestation. The family run a school for infants. An unqualified child cruelty "expert" videotapes the children describing outrageous stories of abuse. One of the most expensive and long running trials in US legal history, exposes the lack of evidence and unprofessional attitudes of the finger pointers which kept one of the accused in jail for over 5 years without bail.

A devoted school administrator faces total ruin as suggestive, coached testimonies from toddlers turn a quiet preschool into a national crime scene. This chilling reconstruction reveals how unchecked hysteria and flawed investigative techniques can dismantle a family's reality.
