A documentary like this one has the effect of a moral thriller. Through the film, he comes to terms with his traumatic past as a victim of three paternal relatives â including his uncle Howard Nevison, a high-profile cantor at Manhattan’s prominent Temple Emanu-El. Our resiliency is being tested, and now more than ever in the wake of COVID-19, it is important to remember just how much human beings are capable of overcoming. I recognized that there were clearly unresolved issues from my childhood that I needed to address. I was also asking the people I care about most to do the same. The abuse and those experiences are seared in my mind. In an eerie twist, the home movies of family outings, get-togethers and celebrations turned out to be a damning picture of multigenerational child sex abuse. So I was very deliberate. My sister Bekah was at first really skeptical, wanting to know why I wanted to dig everything up.

I argued that we hadn’t actually “gotten through it.” We survived it, but in not being able to talk about it, in having fear of talking about it, we were still victims to it. I’m honored to have the opportunity to share Rewind at this pivotal time. The film’s narrative is unsettling from the outset, and it continues to unfold as a mystery where each answer leads to new questions. That being said, I was very nervous to show her the final cut…but sent the link. She asked why I wanted to unearth all of this after we had just got through it all? So we instinctively cross the father off our list of suspects. Through a subtle editorial structure, Neulinger delivers this bombshell in bits and pieces in a manner akin to its original emergence with his doctor. One of them wound up confessing, but Howard, hiding behind his power as a leader of New York’s Jewish community, attempted to deflect the charges. All of my spring speeches got postponed, and while disappointed, I can honestly say that I needed this break more than anything. Yet even once we learn who the abusers were, the deeper mystery remains. For Sasha Joseph Neulinger, the journey to direct REWIND began during the winter of 2013 in a college basement.
