Across the country, people convicted of killing or injuring their babies are challenging their convictions on the basis that the crime never happened. What the medical establishment once universally accepted as truth - that a baby could be shaken so hard the child could die - is being questioned by doctors, researchers, academics, lawyers, and judges as outdated junk science. 

On August 1, the New Hope Film Festival will host a screening of a searing documentary, "The Syndrome." The film takes a hard look at the SBS diagnosis and how the medical field and law intersect. Ticket information for the Festival can be found at the New Hope Film Festival website.
