        Overview

        Winner of the Grand Prix award at Sundance in 1990, but now relegated to the status of hard-to-find cult film, this is the extraordinary, fictionalised account of real-life Michigan conman William Douglas Street (who posed successfully as a lawyer and a gynaecological surgeon, among other things). Featuring sharp dialogue and a fine performance from writer-director Harris as Street, it’s a complex, witty and often shocking examination of the interplay between race, identity and economics.
