Directed by Erin Lee Carr, this documentary provides a disturbing yet captivating account of a story that defies belief.
The film begins by introducing viewers to the seemingly-loving relationship between Deedee and Gypsey Rose, who suffered from a range of severe medical conditions that required her to use a wheelchair and rely on her mother's care. As details emerge, though, it becomes apparent that not everything is as it seems. Slowly, the documentary uncovers a web of deceit, manipulation, and abuse that ultimately culminated in a brutal act of violence.

This disorder sheds light on the twisted dynamics at play within their relationship.
Mommy Dead and Dearest presents an unsettling examination of a true crime story that will leave viewers questioning the lengths some people will go for their own self-interest. This gripping documentary sheds light on a case that shocked the nation, and offers a thought-provoking exploration of the dark side of human nature.

Den svenska visan
2024
Visan kan framföras av kända artister på de stora scenerna, men den lever också i vår vardag och ackompanjerar ofta viktiga högtider i våra liv. Med rötter i 1600-talet har den sjungits i både slott och koja och många vispoeter har blivit mycket folkkära. Visan är den mest enkla och anspråkslösa av genrer, bara en text och en melodi, men ändå har den en unik livskraft och har lyckats överleva i vår moderna högteknologiska tid. En film av Ditte Hammar och Heleen Rebel.
