MEETING JIM  

About

Meeting Jim is a feature length documentary about a journey back to the lifetime of Jim Haynes, an extraordinary 85-year-old man who grabbed with heart and soul the spirit of the 60s and continued to carry it throughout his life.

This journey becomes also a physical one when he takes a train from the city of Paris, where he lives, to London and Edinburgh, the cities where he left his unique mark. A journey that will not only bring out his past and memories, but also his carefully preserved collection of human interconnections.

This is the Czech premiere of the film.
