Lost and Found: Jim Lee

Dir. Luke Seomore & Joseph Bull / UK / 2005

An experimental documentary about a previously unrecorded and undocumented man, Jim Lee, who was born in a field in Kent on 1st November 1936 and then abandoned.

The visual background of this haunting documentary is formed by a collage of discarded footage collected from charity shops, boot sales and private collectors around the country, creating a visual representation of his life.

Wow, it was a really emotional feeling you got after seeing this.

Very sad story... back in the days ( 50-70ies) it was hard times for poor peoples.

It really get you thinking about your own life, how easy and good you have!
