A former cult video store manager turned guerrilla film-maker and B film detective goes looking for Weng Weng, the two-foot-nine James Bond of the Philippines. And now author and filmmaker Andrew Leavold is in Manchester to discuss his seven-year long task.
In this event, Leavold will discuss the definitive search for Weng Weng, an even wilder and woollier tale told by the film-maker himself, as he travels from Imelda Marcos’ birthday party to the poorest slums of Manila, on the trail of one the Philippines’ most unlikeliest heroes – and most heartbreaking stories.
Leavold will be joined by actor Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence).
