It’s less than a minute long, and it’s been rewatched constantly over the years: a glimpse of the creature known as Bigfoot, shot on 16mm from a distance. As famous as Roger Patterson’s 1967 footage has become, though, it’s taken until now for someone to provide undeniable evidence that it was faked — something the new documentary Capturing Bigfoot does.
Capturing Bigfoot, directed by Marq Evans, includes not just the original clip, but two other major pieces of evidence: 40 seconds of what appears to be rehearsal footage for the famous scene, plus video of Bob Hieronymus, whose walk matches the mysterious beast’s. This new evidence, The New York Post explains, came to light thanks to a woman named Teresa Brooks, whose father Norm Johnson got involved in Patterson’s scheme.
Uncovering the Truth Behind the Legend
As Owen Gleiberman writes in his review of Capturing Bigfoot, there’s more to the story than just the original footage: “Patterson, with his ingenious little fake film, didn’t just create an outlandish legend. He created a reality that took on a life of its own.” The documentary will be available for rent on Prime Video beginning October 20th.
Conclusion
The release of Capturing Bigfoot is set to stir up a lot of conversation about the legendary creature and the footage that has been a topic of debate for decades. With its undeniable evidence and in-depth look at the story behind the footage, this documentary is a must-see for anyone interested in the truth about Bigfoot. As the documentary becomes available for rent on Prime Video, audiences will have the chance to see for themselves the truth behind the legend and decide what they believe about the elusive creature.
