Five Finger Discount: A Crooked Family History

Documentary • Unrated • Directed by: Steven Fischler • 55 minutes

Based on Helene Stapinski’s best selling memoir, FIVE FINGER DISCOUNT: A CROOKED FAMILY HISTORY tells the story of Helene’s childhood – growing up working-class in Jersey City, NJ, in a family nearly overrun with crooks, petty criminals, corrupt politicians, mobster wannabes and murderers – and how she became a journalist and a best-selling author. Navigating a childhood of toxic waste and tough love, FIVE FINGER DISCOUNT tells an extraordinary tale that is both heartbreaking and hysterically funny.
