Paul Lima's whole life was subordinated to one event: his father was murdered. For more than a decade, Paul has dedicated himself to dealing with the sluggishness of the Honduran – and American – justice systems, trying to find the murderer and deliver punishment. The indolence of local police forces pushed Lima towards a private crusade. After The Murder Of Albert Lima, by Aengus James, is therefore a record of a personal investigation and struggle with trauma that even revenge cannot fix.
While this scenario sounds like perfect material for an action movie or a spy story, the documentary of an American artist is something completely different. There are no spectacular chases or shootings here – instead, the camera tracks the emotions of an orphaned and injured person, and from them natural tension arises. By focusing on seemingly uninteresting moments, conversations about his next moves, action plans and Paul’s memories of.

Screen Media has acquired U.S. digital rights to After the Murder of Albert Lima, a true-crime documentary thriller directed and produced by Aengus James and which counts Meredith Vieira among its executive producers. With the deal, it will be released as a Crackle Original in the first quarter of 2021.
The pic tells the story of a son obsessed with capturing his father’s killer. After years of the legal system failing him, Paul Lima takes the unorthodox step of hiring two bounty hunters to travel to Honduras to track down and capture his father’s killer. This riveting, and at times darkly comedic, thriller explores both the importance of family and the dangers of taking the law into your own hands.
The film screened in the past year at Doc NYC and Woodstock Film Festival among other fests. It is executive produced by Gunpowder & Sky’s Van Toffler,...

Doc NYC Review: ‘After The Murder of Albert Lima’ is an Absurd Yet Compelling Reality-Based Thriller
A mild-mannered personal trainer from Tampa is galvanized into action, turning nearly into a cold-blooded, revenge-seeking gangster in Aengus James’ After the Murder of Albert Lima, a documentary that struggles to escape the trappings of reality TV. Albert Lima, an American businessman, went down to Honduras to collect a debt owed to him by the Coleman brothers. He turns up dead and Oral Coleman, the perpetrator, is later convicted in absentia, hiding in plain sight in a bakery he runs behind a saloon owned by his family.
Albert’s son Paul Lima has spent nearly a decade seeking answers and justice for his father. He’s left with one option: hunt the son of a bitch himself and deliver him to a police station. The investigation grows muddier and muddier through various official and unofficial channels as the police won’t actively seek out Coleman, asking instead an under-resourced U.S. Embassy...

In a throwback to the 2003 Mike Darnell boundary-pushing reality TV staple Man vs. Beast, Discovery Channel is doing Man vs. Bear, a competition series pitting humans against Grizzlies. The reality show, from Kinetic Content (Married At First Sight), a Red Arrow Studios company, has been filmed and premieres December 4.
It features three Grizzlies – Bart, Honey Bump and Tank – all free-range captive bears, some of them entertainment experience. They take on human competitors at a Utah sanctuary in challenges designed around the exercise routines the animals regularly follow, including a game of “tug of war” or rolling giant logs.
Each episode includes five distinct challenges inspired by what bears do naturally in the wild. In the final round, the top two competitors come face-to-face with Bart, who stands 8 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 1,400 pounds. The human competitor who earns the most points of the day is named champion.
The season concludes...

Would you challenge a grizzly bear to a game of tug-of-war? Discovery Channel is about to find out who would prevail in its new competition series “Man vs. Bear.”
Here’s how the show works: Each week, three grizzlies named Bart, Honey Bump and Tank will compete against three humans (men and women) in five challenges that test strength, speed and stamina. The bears have the home team advantage, as the competition takes place at the Utah sanctuary where they live, and the challenges play to the bears’ natural instincts and predatory skills. Besides tug-of-war, challenges include rolling giant logs using brute force alone, and other activities bears naturally do in the wild.
In the final round, the top two human competitors will go face-to-face with Bart the grizzly bear, who is 8-and-a-half feet tall and weighs 1,400 pounds. The human with the most points at the end of the episode will be crowned the winner.
