Synopsis:
Just imagine waking up tomorrow with no memory of today or any
other since the day of your birth. Imagine living without a
history, without experience, no relationships, no past troubles.
Imagine starting your life over again, making a new set of friends,
finding new talents and falling in love for the first time. Imagine
what it's like to see the world anew.
On the 2nd July 2003 Doug Bruce left his apartment on the Lower
East Side at about 8pm. No one knew where he was going. No one knew
he'd gone. He turned up, 11 hours later, on the New York subway
heading to Coney Island. He had no idea who he was.
Unknown White Male is the startling story of a man who, for no
apparent reason, lost 37 years of life history, who lost every
memory of his friends, his family and every experience he had ever
known. This true story follows Doug in the hours and months
following his amnesia, as he tries to piece his life back together
and has to discover the world anew.
