🎬 Lost Innocence: The Story of Sophia Larson | Official Documentary

A child’s tragedy. A father’s fight. A system’s failure.
This is Lost Innocence: The Story of Sophia Larson — a gripping, Netflix-quality true crime documentary that exposes one of the most heartbreaking injustices in modern America.

Five-year-old Sophia Larson should still be alive today. Her father, Alec Larson, was just 19 years old — young, determined, and desperate to protect his daughter from a world of addiction and danger. But like so many fathers across the country, Alec found himself trapped in a family court system that refused to listen.

Sophia’s mother, Stephanie, was deep into addiction. One night, while using meth with friends, she left a bottle of water laced with drugs beside her bed. Early that morning, Sophia — innocent and thirsty — took a drink that would end her life. Instead of calling for help, those around her hesitated… and a preventable tragedy unfolded.

This film pulls back the curtain on how a broken system can destroy families, how good fathers are silenced, and how one night of neglect changed everything. Through emotional interviews, powerful reenactments, and shocking revelations, Lost Innocence tells the story of love, loss, and the desperate fight for justice.

A private investor believed so strongly in Sophia’s story that they invested nearly six figures to ensure this film was made with the power and quality it deserved.
Every detail — every scene — was crafted to make an impact.

At the time of filming, two suspects had been captured, but one was still on the run.
What happens next will leave you speechless.

This is more than a documentary — it’s a wake-up call.
Fatherhood should be a right, not a fight.

ABOUT THIS FILM — AND WHY YOUR SUPPORT TRULY MATTERS

This documentary cost nearly $100,000 to create. It was funded entirely by Ashman Free Press — the only company willing to stand behind a story the mainstream media refuses to touch. The film was created by Eric Carroll, but because it exposes drugs, corruption, and the preventable death of a little girl, YouTube has heavily restricted monetization. Even with almost half a million views, it has earned in the neighborhood of $100.
This film wasn’t made for money.

It was made because the truth deserved a voice.
For three years, we pushed for major distribution, but independent media doesn’t have deep pockets, corporate backing, or political protection. In the end, Ashman Free Press and Dad Talk released this film for free so the world could finally hear what really happened. Meanwhile, families are being destroyed, fathers are erased, and tragedies like this continue every day while mainstream media stays silent — because division is more profitable than truth.

What most people never see is how many other stories exist: corruption, cover-ups, and heartbreaking cases that would shock the country. Eric has personally helped bring several of these stories to the public — stories that never would have surfaced without independent journalism. But exposing the truth takes resources, and independent media survives on sacrifice, not funding.
Corporate media chooses division.

We choose truth — no matter the cost.

If you want to support the people who made this film possible, Ashman Free Press personally requested only one thing: that viewers support this mission by purchasing the book they published with Eric.

This is their wish, and Eric is honoring it.

And Justice for Dads: The Forgotten Parent in Family Court

https://www.amazon.com/Justice-Dads-F...

This book is built on mountains of research, evidence, documents, and real cases, including stories Eric personally helped bring into public view — stories that would’ve been buried forever. It exposes how the family court system became what it is, who benefits from the chaos, and why fatherlessness has reached crisis levels.
And to be absolutely clear:

Eric receives no profit from this book until Ashman Free Press has fully recouped the money they invested — and even then, his portion remains extremely small. At this point, it is unlikely they will ever recover what they put into this film. Supporting the book is the one meaningful way to honor the people who believed in this mission when no one else would.

This isn’t self-promotion.
This is fulfilling the request of the investor who made this documentary possible.

Most people don’t understand this crisis until their own family is destroyed by it.

This film — and this book — exist to make sure fewer families ever get to that point.

Thank you for watching, for caring, and for standing with the people fighting to expose the truth when no one else will.
