REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Wed., Aug. 29, 2001
This documentary feature by first-time filmmakers Hrasky and Volk explores the makeshift society that arose among the fans who camped out for six weeks on the sidewalk in front of Mann's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood to await the release of Star Wars: Episode One – The Phantom Menace. Filmmaker Kurt Volk will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A. For more info see www.lasthope.net.
