Viewing Notes

Another for my Childhood Movies Project. This doc was on HBO all the time when I was a kid. Not sure if I ever watched it beginning to end but I know it saw most of it. Was fascinating to me as a little kid because these men were like superhuman. As a movie it’s an interesting document of its time. Was hoping my uncle Tom Platz would have an appearance in this since he was part of that group in Venice Beach back in the day.
