Remake

Season 39 Episode 6

Ross McElwee has shot footage from his own life since the 1970s. His son, Adrian, was born into this practice, and was filmed from infancy into his difficult older years, through his death of an overdose at 27. Remake asks questions that could only come after: What did the camera capture, what did it miss?
