Alien Boy: The Life and Death of James Chasse

Was the 2006 death of 42-year-old Portland man James Chasse the result of shocking, and completely unwarranted, police brutality? In this heart-wrenching documentary, the tragic case is re-examined with the exhibition of deposition testimony and interviews with Chasse's friends and family members─long acquainted with "Jim Jim's" schizophrenia and outraged by the city's response to the fate of their troubled and artistic loved one. 90 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; deleted scenes; interview.
