The Secret Life of Uri Geller - Psychic Spy? (2013) - Vikram Jayanti

For some reason, this film doesn't have an imdb page, which makes its contents even more compelling and interesting. Here is a picture of me and the subject; yes, Uri Geller himself showed up!

Jayanti was also in attendance at the festival, and took some very (to use his own phrase) "asshole questions" before the film had even begun. Once it had, people did leave, but I felt, as I'm sure most of the people who stayed until the end did, that it was a very well told narrative.
Whether Geller has any gifts or not is debatable, but Uri is not thick. He claims he is a performer, and even acknowledges how ridiculous powers would or could be. Geller is a mysterious man, and yet, one cannot deny he has a definite charm about him that makes him such an interesting choice of subject. The evidence of his life is all there, and this film well documents it all, and gives us a clear argument both for and against the titling question: was Uri Geller a psychic spy during the Cold War?
