The Jaundiced Eye RTR D: Nonny de la Peņa. U.S. 86 mins. Saturday, September 11, 9pm CUMBERLAND; Monday, September 13, 4:30pm VARSITY. Rating: NNNN This hard-hitting documentary exposes the gross miscarriage of justice that sent gay man Stephen Matthews and his father to prison for alleged sexual abuse of Stephen's five-year-old son. The men are the victims of ignorance, bigotry and a flawed legal system that allows idiotic evidence from the obviously coached child to make the case. It's hard to keep from muttering at the screen in disgust, but although it's emotionally aggravating, de la Peņa cooly lays out the intellectual and psychological reasons why this travesty happened.
