Forgotten Silver

Forgotten Silver

Forgotten Silver is a film mockumentary that "claims" to be about a series of discovered films made by a new zealand filmmaker, Colin Mckenzie (who is in fact not real) this leads into a investigation into Colins life, all the discoveries he made, revealing the true first human flight was made by a new zealander etc, the Documentary had, mostly realistic protrails and forgeries and involved prominent film directors, so much so that many people who watched the first showing on television believed that it was factual.

in hindsight is seems strange to think it was possible for people to think it was real when there are characters like Stan the man who threw pies in babys faces, id imagen the creators didn't imagine this film would have this effect on its audience, but it was shown at the time documentaries where normally on, also people simply wanted to believe all these great things happened in there own country.
