Summary

Filmmaker Ann Marie Fleming takes a tour around the world to investigate the incredible history of her great-grandfather, Long Tack Sam. As a world-renowned magician and acrobat, Long’s travels and exploits in the early 20th century had largely been forgotten. On a mission to uncover and restore his legacy, Fleming discovers all the barriers set in his path and the ways he overcame them on his way to becoming one of the most successful vaudeville acts of all time.

This whimsical and thought-provoking documentary offers an incredible insight into a forgotten icon from a fascinating era of theatrical history.
