Imposter: Back from the Dead

This documentary series tells the extraordinary, and awful, story of Nicholes Rossi, a American rapist, con-man, and international man of mystery. When eventually arrested in Scotland, he made the audacious case that his identity was mistaken, and that he was Arthur Knight, an eccentric but fundamentally unremarkable Irishman. In fact, he repeats the claim to this day, in spite of the emergence of a plethora of evidence to the contrary. The sheer lengths that Rossi has been willing to go to escape justice boggle the mind. His story could have been told at shorter length (there are too many shots of Rossi being taken in and out of court in his wheelchair which add little to the narrative); but keep watching for sudden late twist that is perhaps the most surprising detail of all.
