Abstract:

When filmmaker Oscar Harding's grandfather passed away in rural England, his family inherited an extraordinary home movie from neighbor Charles Carson, best described as "Monty Python meets The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". But there's more to him than his videos. Charles' life and work are examined by those who knew him best, and a new generation of fans inspired by the legacy he left behind.
