Seven-year-old Hannah had her head shaved and was given sleeping pills by her mother. It seems that when she awoke she was told she had had chemotherapy. Her teachers arranged counselling for Hannah to prepare her for her death and when she visited Santa she asked to be spared. But there was no cancer and there were no medical bills. Now that close-knit community wants justice and a jury must decide whether they were the victims of a sadistic fraud.This film talks exclusively to Bob Milbrandt, Hannah's father, who is standing trial for conspiracy to the crimes of theft, child endangerment and felonious assault, and to Hannah's grandmother who is also standing trial for theft. Friends, fundraisers and police investigators reveal how it took nine months to discover the story was false.Want to watch more full-length Documentaries?
