Synopsis

London, 1888. Amateur inventor, Tamworth, has just created the first moving image machine.
A modified pinhole camera with wax cylinders attached, he uses it to document a group of women who have fallen into a conspiracy that the violent ‘Jack The Ripper’ is not a man, but a monster.
But his account, though revolutionary, is itself distorted. The newspapers he reads are unregulated, the people he interviews confused by misinformation, and the events he captures cut off and mangled at the edges.
This disturbing journey into his sepia-toned rabbit hole delivers a haunting warning on the perspectives we are fed... as well as what - and who - we can truly believe.
