Tainted
By: Rachel Randle, Matt Sharp, Aaron Penkert, Rimi Mehmetaj
Medium:
Originally the story of an abused woman (Angela), the film has progressed into an honest and brave account of the pain that she has suffered and how she deals with it as seen through the eyes of her daughter. Drawing upon documentaries such as Tarnation and Frank and Cindy the film employs the use of photographs, direct camera work and readings from the book that Angela is writing about her life in order to tell her story. Motivated by a daughters need for answers, Tainted investigates the relationship between a mother and her child as they both aspire to move forward in their own way. Narrated by both mother and daughter , the film comments on the very nature of documentary form. This gives both film creator and subject the chance to reveal their motivation for making the film and in turn reveals the damage that both physical and mental abuse can do.
