Synopsis:
25 years ago five suburban kids stumbled on a murder in their sleepy hometown and led police to the killer. Two years later, "The Cassidy Kids Mysteries," a Saturday morning TV show based on their story, made its premiere. A terrifying real-life story became a brightly-lit colorful world of adventure. A bloodless kidnapping replaced the murder. The kids' personalities were reduced to ridiculous stereotypes. And the show was a huge hit. It ran for four years and spawned lunch boxes, a line of children's underwear and a set of action figures still in demand today.
Now, in preparation for the show's DVD release, a documentary team has invited all five of the "real" Cassidy Kids back home to talk about how it all began. But as this reunion unfolds, the mystery they thought they solved begins to unravel.
The Cassidy Kids had its World Premiere on March, 12, 2006 at the SXSW Film Festival.
