DOC BC INTRO

Eddy's Kingdom recounts the story of businessman Eddy Haymour, and the extreme methods he used to construct a Middle Eastern-themed amusement park in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. In 1955, Haymour immigrated to Edmonton, Alberta from Lebanon, and promptly started a chain of popular barber shops. On the tail of his success, in the early 1970s, he bought Rattlesnake Island, a piece of land resting in Lake Okanagan. Much to the dismay of many nearby residents, he dreamt of transforming it into an amusement park, complete with underwater submarines and a camel-shaped ice cream stand. Several obstacles prevented Eddy from reaching his dream, and a stranger-than-fiction string of events ensued, including a week-long hostage situation at the Canadian Embassy in Beirut.&nbsp; Using archival footage, reenactments, and interviews with Eddy (now in his 80s) and his family members, Vancouver-based director Greg Crompton chronicles the saga of Haymour’s obsession. A controversial character, Eddy has been called both a narcissist and visionary, and his story details a very strange moment in B.C’s history.&nbsp;
