Based on the soon to be published book from Dr. Benjamin Gilmer (Penguin / Random House), The Other Dr. Gilmer is the story of a beloved small town physician, Dr. Vince Gilmer, who murders his father for mysterious reasons. Vince’s successor, coincidentally named Dr. Benjamin Gilmer, becomes obsessed with understanding what drove Vince to snap. A true crime investigation coupled with a medical mystery, and a social justice crusade, ultimately changes the course of both their lives. This film will take us on a harrowing journey that questions the boundaries of the self, the fallibility of the human brain, and the compassion we should have for each other.
"...a great story that combines high drama and compelling characters, while illuminating the human plight."
