Fly Colt Fly (NR)

synopsis

This feature length documentary is about American teenage fugitive Colton Harris-Moore, whose superhuman ability to escape capture by stealing airplanes and living in the wilderness made him the modern day folk hero of a new generation. Fusing documentary, graphic novel style animation, and dramatic recreations, the film contrasts the story of a real kid who fell into burglary to keep from starving with his mass media persona, The Barefoot Bandit. While telling Colt's larger-than-life story, this film examines the public fascination with underdog anti- heroes and how fame becomes the kiss of death for these outlaws we root for.
