The Syndrome

Investigating “Shaken Baby Syndrome”

The explosive documentary THE SYNDROME follows the crusade of a group of doctors, scientists, and legal scholars who have uncovered that "Shaken Baby Syndrome," a child abuse theory used in hundreds of U.S. prosecutions each year, is not scientifically valid. In fact, they say it doesn't exist.

Filmmaker Meryl Goldsmith and national award-winning investigative reporter Susan Goldsmith document the unimaginable nightmare for those accused and focus on the men and women dedicating their lives to defending the prosecuted and freeing the convicted.
