Documentary examines the history and legacy of the famous Bigfoot film footage
A new documentary explores the origins and enduring mystery surrounding the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film shot in Northern California.
The iconic opening footage details
The film begins with shaky 16mm grainy images that resemble famous historical recordings. An ape-like figure walks approximately 100 feet away from the camera before disappearing into the woods. The recording captures the creature for just 59 seconds while it strolls through birch trees.
Questions about authenticity remain
The documentary notes that no one has ever determined if the film is real or a hoax. Roger Patterson shot this evidence in Northern California on October 20, 1967. The footage shows the figure turning its head to look at the cameraman.
