Winner of Best Feature at AFI Docs, AN HONEST LIAR profiles noted sceptic James The Amazing Randi and his decades-long crusade to expose charlatans, phoney psychics and con-men faith healers. Acknowledged by some as a successor to Harry Houdini and the unofficial public nemesis of Uri Geller, the autodidactic Randi gained notoriety as an illusionist and escape artist until injury curtailed his performing career. Examining the borderline between truth and trickery, director Justin Weinstein (co-writer for Being Elmo: A Puppeteers Journey, MIFF 2011) interviews luminaries of deceit, such as Penn & Teller and Adam Savage, and presents archival footage to uncover a stunning personal revelation that will leave you wondering if Randi is still the deceiver or, indeed, the deceived.
