synopsis
Award
winning documentary filmmakers Robin, Kathy and Shelly
Beeck, with the help of renowned filmmaker Michael
Moore (Roger & Me), spent
five years filming a 60 minute feature length
documentary on Bredo Morstoel, a Norwegian who was
frozen by his grandson in 1983.
Since then, the world famous...well...stiff has been
lying under 800 pounds of dry ice in a Tuff Shed
behind his grandson's castle-like house in the 9000
ft. Colorado ski town of Nederland. The grandson,
Trygve Bauge, has long since been deported back to
Norway, but Grandpa Bredo has remained, unwittingly
becoming a worldwide symbol of the legal rights of the
temporarily dead.
"The people of Nederland take Grandpa very
seriously," Robin Beeck said. "When we first
started filming years ago the townspeople were really
afraid and kind of angry. But during the years of court
battles to keep him above ground, Grandpa became a
folk hero."
Now Nederland holds "Frozen Dead
Guy Days" every March. The annual
festival includes Coffin Races, a Grandpa Lookalike
Contest, a Polar Bear Plunge and the wildly popular
Grandpa's Blue Ball. |
