Lasseter's Bones (2012)

In the parched heartland of Central Australia, the skeletal remains of Harold Lasseter were discovered in 1931. His diary, a poignant testament to his final days, bore witness to an elusive gold mine of unimaginable worth, a treasure he would have traded for a single loaf of bread. Yet, the gold remains hidden, a tantalizing secret of the desert. Almost a century later, filmmaker Luke Walker crosses paths with Lasseter's 85-year-old son, whose quest for gold is shadowed by a deeper search for something infinitely more valuable. Eight decades have rolled by since Lasseter embarked on his ill-fated journey from Alice Springs, leaving behind a fragmented legacy. Is it feasible now to reassemble the broken shards of history he left in his wake? With his camera as his sword and an unwavering conviction in the golden truth within Lasseter's tale, Walker ventures into the labyrinth of half-truths, deceptions, and legends interred with Lasseter's bones. His pursuit is not merely for the gold, but to untangle the tightly knotted threads of lore that shroud Lasseter's enigmatic life and demise in Australia's unforgiving desert.

Lasseter's Bones is a documentary movie featuring Bob Lasseter.
