A ROCK STAR FINDS HOPE IN THE
MORMON CHURCH

You'll never forget the inspiring true story of Arthur "Killer" Kane, former bassist of the revolutionary rock band the New York Dolls. This Official Sundance Selection explores Arthur's improbable transformation from jaded rock star to humble LDS service missionary. When the opportunity arises for Arthur to relive his glory days in a star-studded reunion concert, his elderly friends in the genealogy department become his new groupies.

As Arthur seeks to reclaim the good things from his past while leaving the bad behind, you'll see stirring evidence that a loving God hears and answers our sincere prayers. Share with your family and neighbors the uplifting journey of a world-weary musician who receives a second chance.

PRAISE FOR NEW YORK DOLL

"A soft-spoken, damaged soul who has found refuge and hope in the Mormon Church." — Stephen Holden, The New York Times

"A respectful and subtle look at the difference faith can make in one's life." — Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News

"New York Doll really doesn't feel like it was made as a commercial for Mormonism — although it could certainly serve as one." — Kurt Loder, MTV

"As journeys go, this is one to treasure." — Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times

"A charmer." — Dennis Harvey, Variety

"A revelation." — Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

"[New York Doll] turns Arthur Kane's largely heartbreaking rock and roll life into a small, unassuming monument to the power of friendship and the wonders of the spirit." — Kurt Loder, MTV

"One of those stories so incredible that even the most creative Hollywood screenwriters couldn't have come up with it." — Jeff Vice, Deseret News

Absolutely wonderful

Gail, ON - January 03, 2012


This is a movie about a gentle man who only ever had one prayer and it was answered. I was touched by so much of this movie. At the end of the film when the original lead singer (a non-member I might add) of the New York Dolls sings an acoustic version of A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief, I cried tears of joy. What a tribute to Arthur's testimony and his love for the gospel. This was a film about healing and forgiveness. As a convert to the church it strengthened my own testimony. Watch the director's interview and you get a real sense of why this movie was made and why it is such an important addition to any video library, LDS or otherwise.
