Returning home to a small town in Montana for her high school reunion, filmmaker Kimberly Reed hopes for reconciliation with her long-estranged adopted brother, Marc. But along the way she uncovers stunning revelations, including his blood relationship with Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth, intense sibling rivalries and unforeseeable twists of plot and gender that forces them to face challenges no one could imagine.

Winner of Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival’s FIPRESCI prize, Best of the Fest Audience Award at the 2008 Palm Springs International Film Festival and Special Jury Prizes for Bravery in Filmmaking at the Florida and Nashville Film Festivals, Prodigal Sons is a raw and provocative examination of one family’s struggle to come to terms with its past and present.

"A sweeping family saga that spans the globe and uncovers disturbing secrets as well as some remarkable connections…gathers a Shakespearian momentum, and which could make even the stoniest among us weep."
- Oxford American

"Superb documentary filmmaking…no one could make this believable if it were fiction."
- San Francisco Chronicle
