South Okanagan history like you’ve never heard it. Stranger-than-fiction, this award-winning documentary follows Eddy Haymour’s obsessive dream to turn Rattlesnake Island into a Middle Eastern-themed amusement park – spiraling into lawsuits, financial ruin, hostage-taking, and bomb plots. Director, Greg Crompton, will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A.

“An astonishing portrait of a passionate and extreme ‘new Canadian’. Few immigrants have gone this far in redefining their identities, and this film documents this most unusual journey with empathy and shock.” – Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter)

“An accomplished documentary. This is a crazy rollercoaster of a story.” – Carol Off (CBC, As It Happens)
