Con Man

NEW DOCS

Film Noir meets documentary in a gripping, ironic tour-de-force about a brilliant con artist impersonating a Princeton track star. The filmmaker retraces James Hogue’s fraudulent identities from Palo Alto High School running phenomenon to Princeton “big man on campus,” with a stop at state prison in Utah. Suspense, humor, class warfare, and the pitfalls of college athletic recruiting enter into this well-told story.  NK
