LIFE AFTER FLASH
de Lisa Downs
Synopsis
Since 1980, the name of Sam J. Jones has remained permanently associated with that of Flash Gordon. Life after Flash explores the consequences of becoming a popular culture icon. From Jones’ confrontation with the tycoon Dino de Laurentis to the ostracism and the effects it all had on his family: this is not just a documentary about Flash, but also about that meteorite that’s called Hollywood.
