The Imposter

OTTAWA PREMIERE | GRAND JURY PRIZE NOMINEE, SUNDANCE 2012

In 1994, 11-year-old Nicholas Barclay disappeared from San Antonio. Four years later, he resurfaced in Spain — or so it seemed. This doc traces how the new “Nicholas’” true identity was eventually exposed, and the much greater mystery that followed. “The experience of watching The Imposter [is] one of edge-of-the-seat disbelief and nerve-jangling thrills.” (The Atlantic)
