THE BODYBUILDER AND I (2007)
A little-known doc from a first-time Canadian filmmaker who is wrestling with his paternal relationship. His Dad, aged 60, has become a competitive bodybuilder, much to his humiliation. Solid film. Great soundtrack by Jim Guthrie. Available through the NFB. Look for it online.
