Synopsis:
Documentary maker Jean-Baptiste Dumont, aka JB, has been tricked by a certain Gary in a train station in Brussels. A guy who says his wallet got robbed, that he's stuck there, and needs 80 euros to go back home to Norway. JB fell into the trap. But when he googled his name, he realized soon enough Gary has scammed many people, all around Europe, for many years.
Who is this fascinating guy who bends the truth to make a living? Well, JB decides to launch an interactive investigation that can be followed online. Not out of a revenge, but out of curiosity. He gives himself ten weeks to find Gary with the help of the audience. Two times a week he publishes a webisode showing his progress as he comes closer to the deadline....
Where is Gary? becomes a truly interactive documentary. The participation of the audience is a major key in the development of the story. Even the media get interested. And JB gets unexpected results. But it also raises many questions. How to avoid the search to become a manhunt? What about privacy? What role does Facebook play ? Where does that blue penguin come from? And is Gary for real? A thrilling investigation.
