Kalakala Animation, the studio he runs with
Amanda Moore.) Heavily researched and humorous, Christie’s animations often chronicle quirky characters, human and animal, so Bigfoot lore seems like a perfect fit. (In fact he’s made a Sasquatch short film before, in which the Fremont Troll makes a cameo.)
Spoiler to Sasquatch groupies: this particular doc is less about a search for the mythical beast and more about the greed, racism and violence plaguing big-money marijuana farms nestled deep in the woods of Mendocino County, California.
As (real-life) journalist
David Holthouse takes us on his increasingly disturbing quest did a Sasquatch brutally murder three Mexican workers on the pot farm where Holthouse worked in 1993 and, if not, who did? Christie’s animations flip through the talking heads, crystallizing the story like pages from a graphic novel.
These 2021 True-Crime Documentaries Are Going to Send You Down an Internet Rabbit Hole
