The Bad Guardian

A riveting thriller about one woman's fight to save her father from the clutches of a corrupt and greedy court-appointed "guardian". When Leigh's father Jason suffers a fall while she's out of town, the courts assign Jason a guardian, Janet. At first Janet seems to be a big help to Jason, but things quickly take a terrible turn. Janet is legally in charge of every aspect of Jason's life, and doesn't waste any time placing him in a nursing home, auctioning off his house, all worldly possessions, and using the excuse that the proceeds are needed for his care. As Leigh continues to challenge Janet's efforts, the guardian ultimately uses her power to prevent the family from visiting. In Janet's care, Jason's health deteriorates, to the point that he needs a lifesaving treatment which Janet decides is too expensive. As the whistleblowers around Jason meet untimely ends, Leigh finds the strength to take down the guardian. Starring Melissa Joan Hart, La La Anthony, and Luis Bordonada (2024).
