"Rewind" was initially scheduled to open in theaters on March 27th at the IFC Center in New York, and April 3rd in Los Angeles, with a national rollout to follow. However, like all other film releases nationwide, the movie's theatrical opening was cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak.

An autobiographical film years in the making,"Rewind" is Sasha Joseph
 Neulinger's directorial debut. For as long as Sasha can remember, a video camera was ever-present, with his father constantly filming- from birthday parties, to hockey games, to holidays. But his father's camera, trained on the frequent gatherings of a tight-knit family, was also documenting a hidden secret, the revelation of which would lead to a media firestorm, a high-stakes court battle, and a generational reckoning. Drawing upon an incredibly revealing home video archive, Neulinger revisits these events 20 years later to piece together an unflinching story of the cycles and consequences of abuse, to examine what it means to heal, and to use those experiences to affect positive change in the world. "Rewind" probes the gap between image and reality, showing both how little, and how much, a camera can capture. This intimate and powerful family portrait weaves an astounding visual archive into Neulinger's contemporary investigation to find redemption through the criminal justice system and healing for himself and his family. Anunflinching and moving, personal narrative documentary, "Rewind" reconstructs the disturbing story of Neulinger's boyhood and bravely exposes the insidious abuse passed along through generations.

The filmmaker Sasha Joseph Neulinger said: "In this time of uncertainty we are being challenged to dig deep and harness the power of our own internal light. Our resiliency is being tested, and now more than ever in the wake of COVID-19, it is important to remember just how much human beings are capable of overcoming. I'm honored to have the opportunity to share REWIND at this pivotal time
