Uncle Bob (2011)

  
Format:  Uncle Bob DVD 
 
 
His identity may only be a footnote in television history, but, as this documentary directed by his nephew points out, Robert Opel was much more than the streaker who ran across the stage during the 1974 Academy Awards telecast. Opel was a photographer, an art gallery owner, and a gay rights activist ultimately shot and killed for an alleged drug debt in 1979. John Waters, Divine, and Mike Douglas are featured. 78 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; "making of" featurette; interviews; music video; photo gallery; theatrical trailer.
