MAKING THE CASE
According to the documentary, three
main symptoms have been histori-
cally used to determine whether a baby
has been shaken: Subdural hematoma
(bleeding on the surface of the brain),
cerebral edema (fluid in the brain)
and retinal hemorrhaging (bleeding in
the back of the eye), yet the scientific
evidence shows that many other medi-
cal conditions can cause these kinds of
symptoms. Some of those disorders
include sickle cell anemia, meningitis,

hemophilia, congenital heart disease and
certain vitamin deficiencies.
Also, the physicians interviewed by
the Goldsmiths say that shaking a baby
hard enough to cause these kinds of inju-
ries would result in a broken neck long
before any of the three criteria condi-
tions could occur.
“It’s junk science … these people [in
the documentary] have built a move-
ment, and courts around the country are
recognizing it,” Susan said.
Some of the heart-rending scenes in
the film include child welfare representa-
tives accusing terrified parents of abus-
ing their children — children who were
subsequently taken away and placed in
foster care while the innocent parents
were prosecuted. A law professor inter-
viewed in the film estimates that well
over a thousand people are in prison for
convictions based on science that has
since been disproved, and thousands of
other families have been torn apart and
destroyed.
“It’s old-school investigative report-
ing in documentary format,” Susan said.
“We want a lot of people to see it, and
we hope the people who have started to
undo this disaster in the criminal justice
system will continue to gain traction.”

each other before, both were passionate
about the subject and thought it would
be a fun to bring it to fruition together.
The documentary, which Meryl
described as a “labor of love,” was fund-
ed by the cousins and their families. To
work closely together on the writing and
production, Meryl left her Los Angeles
home and lived in Portland while they
worked on the film.
“This was a wonderful opportunity to
take my craft, which I’d been honing for
many years, and pair with Meryl, who
had been studying her craft in documen-
tary filmmaking. We got really close on
this project,” said Susan, “and she got me
hooked on electronic music.”
The Syndrome, released April 15 in
theaters across the country and through
a variety of video-on-demand platforms
such as Amazon, DirecTV, Google/
YouTube and others, chronicles the
history of this alarming myth and high-
lights the cases of innocent parents and
childcare providers whose lives were
ruined by false accusations based on
faulty medicine.
