Will watch tonight bit the title alone makes me think this piece has a judgement and bias before it was even written.

By cherry-picking the facts that support your conclusion it makes a very strong case. By not presenting both sides it leads you to a forgone conclusion that JZD was a scheming con artist. In fact, to a point, that may very well be true. Once things go bad desperate people will do desperate things. Once the British government and then the US court system goes after you, you do whatever you think you have to. If DMC was successful no one would have looked at the ugly facts like CC and JZD divying up a slush fund between them. As for some of the others, if they had proper legal representation they would not have been taken advantage of. No businessman who is active doesn't have a dissatisfied customer. For example the rancher. His lawyer should have made sure they were buying a property free and clear. The inventor, who twisted his arm to sign over his patent? The worst you can say is JZD used Nesseth to do his "dirty work". JZD was no saint but the way the governments treated him should make us all worry about how powerful they have become and how corrupt.

This special was aired in the past, just was a very long time ago for a British TV station. It is a very thorough examination of very specific elements of John's past and Roy Nesseth's involvement.

Here's the question that no one has ever been able to answer... if Roy Nesseth was who they all say he was, and who and what he did for JZD, why wasn't Nesseth in that hotel room; why wasn't he the one making the deal with Hoffman instead of JZD?

Thanks for posting this! I noticed lots of familiar scenery in Arizona (I lived there almost 20 years) where the DMC engineers road tested the early car(s). Specifically, I noticed I-10 in Phoenix, Camelback Mountain, I-17 towards Flagstaff, and possibly SR69 by way of Prescott.
I believe I saw this video many years back on a Brit fan-made DVD I owned that included this and many other documentaries and short films on JZD. I only wish I could find it. I suppose now days one could find just about anything on JZD on YouTube.
Thanks again for posting this!
