SLAMDANCE 2025 FILM FESTIVAL: CORONER TO THE STARS
February 23 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm MST
SLAMDANCE 2025 FILM FESTIVAL – CORONER TO THE STARS directed by Ben Hethcoat and Keita Ideno!
CORONER TO THE STARS directed by Ben Hethcoat and Keita Ideno uncovers the history and the untold story of the infamous Dr. Thomas Noguchi, the former Los Angeles County Chief Medical Examiner who is known for conducting autopsies from Marilyn Monroe to Robert Kennedy to the Sharon Tate/Manson murders. Through rare archival footage and interviews, the film weaves together rich Japanese American history in Los Angeles and Noguchi’s remarkable work and contributions in forensic science. Despite facing racism and immense challenges from the Hollywood elite and political adversaries, his work not only reshaped forensic science but also cemented his place in Los Angeles history.
