The ultimate goal is to shoot the film with a series of re-enactments based on Khari’s account – especially how they relate to the “possession,” the circumstances and events leading up to it as well as his life coping with these issues. Individual scenes are scripted around Khari’s retelling of events (through his voice over) and he will, ideally portray himself on the screen. Archival footage will be employed in innovative ways within the narrative of the film (e.g. A wall within a given scene will come alive with a previous interview). The idea of “Conspiracy” starring in his own dramatic-documentary aims to portray these experiences as a great contemporary tale, even if it is borne from his riddled mind. This presentation aims to give Khari a platform to tell his story through the film, somewhat embellishing his image as a fantastical character and at the same time questioning the cause(s) behind his afflictions and his identity.If you're still wondering what I'm trying to get at, let me suggest Robinson Davor's brilliant documentary Zoo, which focuses on some truly shocking occurrences and behaviors of "Zoophiles" in Seattle, Washington. It's so beautifully shot and manages to gracefully tackle subject matter that is otherwise taboo.
