Back in Time

Directed by Jason Aron1h 35m2015

Cast, crew and fans explore the "Back to the Future" time-travel trilogy's resonance throughout our culture, thirty years after Marty McFly went back in time.

Our read: Back in Time (2015) reads as a cosy, kinetic, grounded documentary entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, tender in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
