Synopsis
Every family has its ghosts. The Mosher family has more than most. Shot over a year from one Halloween to the next, the film creates a portrait of a family who are unique, but also sadly representative of the struggles of America's working class. Combining the access only available to a family member with an intimate visual style of a filmmaker encountering the family's dynamics for the first time, the film gives a deeply personal voice to the national issues of economic instability, domestic abuse, war trauma, and sexual molestation. As the Moshers do their best to confront their ghosts, we confront the broader issues that haunt us all in the continued struggle for the American Dream.
