Search For Michael Rockefeller

The disappearance of Michael Rockefeller, son of Governor Nelson Rockefeller, is one of the enduring unsolved mysteries of the 20th Century. Until now. In 1961, Michael Rockefeller's trading canoe capsized off New Guinea's cannibal coast. Rockefeller set out to swim for shore, leaving his companion with the fateful words: 'I think I can make it...' He was never seen again. Or was he? In 2007, Filmmaker Fraser C. Heston discovered a lost cache of 16 mm film shot by adventure-author Milt Machlin during his expedition to New Guinea in 1969, in search of the lost scion. The award-winning documentary includes previously unreleased film and eyewitness interviews, including some startling revelations. Was Michael eaten by sharks or crocodiles on his fateful swim ashore? Did he simply drown? Was he murdered and eaten by vengeful Asmat cannibals or did he choose to live among them? In the tradition of Werner Hertzog's Grizzly Man, the filmmakers have created an entirely new film from Milt Machlin's unedited found footage.
