Trailer drops for Heath Ledger documentary

Having looked at the hype around the new Heath Ledger documentary I am: Heath Ledger a couple of weeks ago here at Qulture, the trailer has now finally dropped.

And? It looks even more personal and emotional that we could have imagined. Within the two-and-a-half-minute clip, we are introduced to some of the people who will be narrating Heath’s incredible yet tragic story, including musicians, childhood friends, family, as well as his sister Kate. With an aptly moving song-choice as the backdrop to the trailer, it appears as though this documentary will be truly heart-breaking, as it mourns the loss of an immense talent and amazing personality.  

His capability as an actor is illustrated, even in this trailer, by one of the narrators who states: “Even as a supporting actor, he will steal the whole show, that’s the power of Heath Ledger”. What’s more, the agonisingly sad unexplored potential of Ledger as a director is underlined as another friend explains that “he was always a director, acting was just a way to get there”.

Check out the trailer here and keep an eye out for the release date in the UK, it is so far unconfirmed where and when it will be shown.
