Back Cover Information
Forgotten Silver is a highly entertaining mocumentary that documents the life and work of pioneer New Zealand film maker, Colin McKenzie. It also follows the equally fascinating contemporary story of how the work of this forgotten genius was brought to life. At fifty minutes it stars Sam Neill, Leonard Maltin and Harvey Weinstein who add authenticity to this "hoax".
