Booger RedBerndt Mader95 min., Video, 2015, USA“Booger Red is a hybrid narrative/documentary film where fictional journalist, Onur Tukel, investigates the true case of the ‘Mineola Swingers Club’ trials. In 2006, seven people were sentenced to life for purportedly running the largest child sex ring in Texas history--inside of a swingers club in Mineola, TX. Onur, portraying a veteran reporter, interviews the actual defendants and lawyers involved in the trials. On his journey through the seedy underbelly of east Texas, Onur is forced to confront his own history with abuse while he discovers that the allegations at the root of his investigation might have never happened..” BM“Booger Red falls somewhere between Errol Morris’s The Thin Blue Line and Call Northside 777’s cynicism.” - The Austin Chronicle
