Heath Ledger’s death in 2008 was a shock to many. We were looking forward to see his much-hyped performance as The Joker in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, a role from which he receives numerous posthumous accolades. He was also well known for playing Ennis Del Mar in ‘Brokeback Mountain’.

A documentary entitled ‘I Am Heath Ledger’ combines Ledger’s own footages with interviews to shed more insights into the Australian actor’s psyche. The trailer shows snippets of interview with the ‘Brokeback Mountain’ director Ang Lee, his sister Kate Ledger, and his agent Steve Alexander, among others.

The film will premier at Tribeca Film Festival on 23 April 2017 and will screen in select theatres in the US.

Synopsis:
I AM HEATH LEDGER is a feature length documentary celebrating the life of Heath Ledger: actor, artist and icon. The documentary provides an intimate look at Heath Ledger through the lens of his own camera as he films and often performs in his own personal journey - extravagant in gesture and in action. It was his creative energy and unshakable willingness to take risks that instilled such an extraordinarily deep love and affection in the people that entered his life. Heath’s artistic nature and expression set him apart from the Hollywood mainstream, vaulted him to stardom and endeared him to the world.
