Join us for our latest AHAG as we welcome Jenny Abel and her documentary Abel Raises Cain � part of our ongoing film series at the TAM.

As far back as she can remember, Jenny Abel has seen her father appear on television under a variety of aliases, fooling news reporters and talk show hosts. He was continually plotting new ways to infiltrate the media with one of his seemingly absurd causes. Throughout the years, people have accused him of being a scam artist or an impostor. But to Jenny, he was always just a father with a unique profession.
