About
You can watch Zelig (1983) for free on Hoopla.
Fictional documentary about the life of human chameleon Leonard Zelig, a man who becomes a celebrity in the 1920s due to his ability to look and act like whoever is around him. Clever editing places Zelig in real newsreel footage of Woodrow Wilson, Babe Ruth, and others.
This mockumentary blurs the line between fiction and history by inserting a shape-shifting social climber into actual 1920s newsreels. You will find yourself squinting at the screen to spot a man who physically transforms to mimic everyone from Babe Ruth to Woodrow Wilson.
