A documentary about Heath Ledger will be released later this month featuring never-before-seen footage, plus interviews with his friends, co-workers and family.

 

The trailer for the documentary, “I Am Heath Ledger” came out yesterday (April 4th, 2017) which would’ve been his 38th birthday.

 


The doc examines Heath’s successful career, but also hints at the darker side of his life.

In the preview, filmmaker Matt Amato is shown saying “He wanted fame and when he got it, he didn’t want it.”

The movie will debut at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival on April 23rd and after that there will be a chance for the rest of us to see it.

It will have a limited theatrical run on May 3rd and then be aired on Spike May 17th. If you miss it on Spike, you’ll be able to catch it when it’s physically released on May 23rd.
