Lost In The Fog
Roxie Theater

Saturday 3, 5, 7, 9pm
Sunday 3, 5, 7pm
San Francisco filmmaker John Corey brings this stunning story about a man and his horse to the big screen. The horse is Lost In The Fog, the man is Harry Aleo. The documentary captures the spirit of Bay Area horse racing and a horse that electrified not just Aleo but a nation. The film is heartwarming and heartbreaking. If not a horse racing fan you will be by the end of the film. I am proud of my pal and neighbor John Corey for a first class film.
