It’s a parent’s worst nightmare: your toddler is snatched in a public park. It’s another parent’s worst nightmare: your teenager is the one who abducts the toddler. SNAP is both an intense drama about a family in denial and a visual tour de force. Following the media circus around the revelation that her 15-year-old son Stephen has taken a child to his Granddad’s house for several days, caustic Sandra launches a bitter tirade against the media and the furious public. Her rant is captured by a hand-held camera. Meanwhile, the film relates the shocking events that may have led Stephen to take the child.

Director Carmel Winters and director of photography Kate McCullough look at this horrendously dysfunctional mother-son pair from different distances, using various recording technologies.
