Originally released as a documentary film in 2016.
Anamorphic wide screen (1.85:1).
The New York Times sent shockwaves through the literary world when it unmasked JT LeRoy, whose tough prose about a sordid childhood had captivated icons and luminaries internationally. It turned out LeRoy didn't actually exist. He was the creative expression of 40-year-old San Francisco housewife, Laura Albert. Now viewers can journey down the infinitely fascinating rabbit hole of how Laura Albert breathed not only words, but life, into her avatar for a decade.
DVD; region 1; anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1.
