In 1995, director Peter Jackson paid a visit to his mother's next-door neighbor and made a shocking discovery that would change the course of film history forever. Here, Jackson would begin to unravel the astonishing legacy of Colin McKenzie, the greatest unknown cinema genius of all time.

Through archive photos, rare film footage and interviews with such experts as critic Leonard Maltin, producer Harvey Weinstein and actor Sam Neill, Jackson and co-director Costa Botes uncover the trials, triumphs and tragedies behind this pioneer's brilliant life and career. These startling achievements include McKenzie's invention of the steam-powered projector, movie sound, color film and pornography, as well as the monumental discovery and restoration of the massive biblical epic that would ultimately destroy him. Nearly 70 years later, his talent can finally be told: This is the truly remarkable-though not entirely true-story of Forgotten Silver.
