Who owns your extremities if they’re no longer attached to your body? This bizarre question becomes an actual legal debate in the incredible Finders Keepers.
Shannon Whisnant, bargain hunter extraordinaire, buys an old grill at an auction and is astonished to find a human calf and foot inside. With plans to create a tourist attraction, Whisnant looks to be stymied when the original owner emerges. John Wood is a recovering addict who had his leg amputated after a plane crash. Of course, the media circus arrives en masse and the debate becomes one of ridiculous proportions, in which the filmmakers manage to sensitively capture and encompass class divide, addiction, greed, celebrity and small town family expectations.

“As hysterical as it is insightful, this documentary finds the humanity behind a TV news freakshow” - Variety
