This Heath Ledger Documentary Is Going to Smash Your Heart Into a Pulp

Apr 8 2017 - 4:00am

Heath Ledger [1] died on Jan. 22, 2008. You probably remember where you were when you found out that one of Hollywood's brightest stars, who would go on to win a posthumous Academy Award for his work in The Dark Knight, had died of an accidental drug overdose. Nine years later, Spike TV has made a documentary about the late actor: I Am Heath Ledger. It's set to debut at the Tribeca Film Festival, but if you can't make it to New York, it'll open in limited release on May 3 before airing on Spike on May 17. The trailer is chock-full of personal footage of Heath, much of which he took himself. There are also interviews with his family and close friends [2], including Naomi Watts [3], Emile Hirsch [4], Ben Mendelsohn, and Ang Lee. While it'll probably break your heart all over again, the trailer is worth watching just to see Heath smile again and to remember what a true artist he was.
