Bizarre: A Circus Story

An intimate look at the extraordinary life of Master Lu Yi, hailed as the father of modern acrobatics, and the vast community of big-top lovers who share his dream of a thriving US circus industry.

My take

A reverent portrait of the visionary who transformed American circus into an art form, and the passionate community keeping that dream alive. Inspiring and deeply human—the kind of doc that makes you believe in the power of passion and tradition.
