Sir Jared the Nectarine - Best Documentary Short: PDXFF 2020

Anthony Godby Johnson was a 1990s miracle: a boy who escaped years of horrific abuse only to discover that he was dying of AIDS. A boy who authored his own autobiography. A boy who earned friends and fans worldwide—and who did not exist.

Featuring Oprah Winfrey, the remnants of Anthony Godby Johnson's long-forgotten television special, and the first public glimpse of the hoaxer behind the myth, TONY FRAGINALS explores the scandal from the point of view of Tony's 'little brother'.
