Bigfoot Lives: Review of the DVD Version

An intriguing documentary that chronicles the journeys of the investigative team led by Tom Biscardi as they travel across the continental United States, researching sightings, interviewing witnesses and documenting evidence of the elusive creature known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch.

A Bigfoot is described as a large bi-pedal primate, similar in form to a human, but covered with long, thick hair. Their weight is estimated to be in the range from 500-800 pounds. The tracks resemble human footprints as well, but are significantly larger, averaging 16 to 18 inches in length.

The film by Tizodd Production's Todd Douglas Bailey features eight geographic locations where the tangible evidence such as footprints, photographs, sound recordings, physical remains and corroborations by several witnesses make a strong case for each encounter of a Bigfoot. Historical references include clips from classic footage such as the Patterson-Gimlin film of 1967.

The documentary has the look and feel of a quality "reality show" where the participants are ordinary people who have encountered extraordinary circumstances. The interviews and commentary appear to be spontaneous and unrehearsed.

The locations are surprisingly widespread and follow this sequence: Paris, Texas; Deer River, Minnesota; Portsmouth, Ohio; Gila Bend, Arizona; Idaho Falls, Idaho; Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona; Clarence, New York; Browning, Montana and finally, back to Paris, Texas.
