I heard something about this a while back, a Lloyd Barnes documentary, but I can't seem to find anything on it now. Was it actually produced and released?

i *think* it is being made now

There's one that's been out for ages. Worked at a library and the VHS taped had been there since '86. Funny/informative video.

Thanks. I wonder if that means there are/will be two separate movies. Either way, I haven't seen them...

jordandance, do you remember the title of that old VHS?

No, but I remember running across a DVD version (and you can tell it's a transferreed VHS)at a party and on Amazon once. Shoouldn't be hard to find at all.

Check your local library. I think Barnes distributed these to libraries back in the day. Def should be in the NEw York library system. I know he visited and did work here in Toronto, so he may have hand-dropped the video here.

You can search worldcat.org for it. It searches nationwide libraries (in the US at least, not sure about Canada or other countries) and will automatically find it in the library closest to you (based on your IP address).
Cool service.

Just searched it, and it's true there are a lot of libraries that carry it in VHS at least. 'Wackies' didn't turn anything up, but 'Bullwackie' did. Found one in a library 5 miles away. Cool! Thanks for the tip jordandance

I aim to tip.

Sounds great, but I'm in another continent!
