Small Sacrifices is a 1989 American made for television crime drama film written by Joyce Eliason and based on the best selling true crime book by Ann Rule of the same name. The film is about Diane Downs and the murder and attempted murder of her three children. It stars Farrah Fawcett, Ryan O'Neal, Gordon Clapp, John Shea, and Emily Perkins. The film premiered in two parts on ABC on November 12 and 14, 1989.

On 19 May 1983, at approximately 10:48 p. m, Diane Downs drives to McKenzie Willamette Hospital in Springfield, Oregon with a gunshot wound to her arm. She claims that an unknown assailant attempted to carjack her and shot her three children: Karen, 8, Shauna, 7, and Robby, 3. Her eldest daughter Karen suffers a temporary loss of speech due to a stroke after the shooting, but recovers sufficiently to serve as a witness in court against her mother; her youngest daughter Shauna was dead on arrival, and Diane's son is paralyzed due to the gunshot. She is eventually tried and convicted of murder and attempted murder. During the trial, the prosecution plays Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf" to demonstrate to the jury Diane's choice of song used to motivate her to kill. Diane Downs is sentenced to life in prison, and her two surviving children are adopted by the prosecutor Frank Joziak and his wife, Lola.

Downs' children Christie, Cheryl and Danny were renamed Karen, Shauna, and Robbie for the film. Her ex husband, Steve, was renamed Boyd Paul. The prosecutor and his wife who later adopted Christie and Danny were also renamed. In both the book and movie Downs' lover, Robert Knickerbocker, was renamed Lew Lewiston.
