Critically acclaimed, feature documentaryMission To
Lars, produced and directed by William Spicer and
James Moore, is the story of two siblings' (Kate and William
Spicer) attempt to fulfil their brother Tom's dream of meeting rock
God Lars Ulrich of Metallica, in a tale which is both funny and
touching. Tom Spicer has Fragile X Syndrome, a form of autism, he
has a dream to meet his hero and his siblings promise to make it
happen, with hopes of good times and bondi on the road trip. But
Tom's disabilities, a dysfunctional family, and heavy metal's
labyrinthine backstage world thwart the mission at every turn. Then
as they get closer to Lars, Tom the man starts to shine and a touch
and inspirational finale ensues.
