IN
DECEMBER 1980 THE WORLD LOST A HERO.
OR DID WE?
In this obscure, highly controversial documentary,
two film students discover an old tape that contains a brief clip of an
old man who bears more than a passing resemblance to an aging John Lennon.
Believing Lennon is alive, living somewhere in Canada, the two become
obsessed with finding him. With hidden body cameras,
wireless cameras and surveillance cameras, the audience experiences -
first hand - the possibility that history has been deceptive. And John
Lennon is alive.
This
is a fascinating and irresistible documentary that could be dismissed
as absurd, if it were not for the fact that this man sounds and looks
like John Lennon. There is also a perplexing mystery surrounding this
film. It premiered at the Vancouver Film Festival in 2009... and then
completely disappeared. The websites were shut down. Generally, all promotion
stopped. Like it never existed.
