Improper Channels (1981)
Country: CAN
Technical: col 91m
Director: Eric Till
Cast: Alan Arkin, Mariette Hartley, Monica Parker
Synopsis:
A father who brings his daughter to hospital with injuries finds himself under suspicion for child abuse and must fight the social services through the courts in order to reclaim her.
Review:
Part attack on the busy-body nature of the social welfare services, part satire on the extent to which information technology has become a threat to individual privacy, even well-being. Not as funny as it means to be but avoids sentimentality.
