A documentary about the making of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King'.
Production
Peter Jackson's sleep-deprived zombie energy is genuinely concerning.
Practical Effects
Minas Tirith built to scale while everyone questioned their life choices.
Director
Karina Friend Buck
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed during the actual crunch of Return of the King's post-production, so the documentary crew was itself racing the Oscar deadline.
