Trailer to Sundance Documentary Winner RESURRECT DEAD

The full title Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles may be a mouthful, but from the looks of the trailer there seems to be a pretty compelling detective story within. The documentary, which recently won a Directing Award at Sundance, follows amateur sleuth Justin Duerr as he attempts to solve the mystery of an urban sculpture trail that has been puzzling the streets of America for decades.

What is the mystery of the Toynbee Tiles? You'll have to find out on September 2nd, when Resurrect Dead comes to select American theatres.

Strangeness is afoot. Most people don't notice the hundreds of cryptic tiled messages about resurrecting the dead that have been appearing in city streets over the past three decades. But Justin Duerr does. For years, finding an answer to this long-standing urban mystery has been his obsession. He has been collecting clues that the tiler has embedded in the streets of major cities across the U.S. and South America. But as Justin starts piecing together key events of the past he finds a story that is more surreal than he imagined, and one that hits disturbingly close to home.
