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

Great, moving reflection on life.

Douglas, UTAH - April 29, 2009


The subject: Arthur "Killer" Kane, a man of grief, a man of sorrow, a man with great wealth...and great poverty. He went from the height of worldly success to the depths of human tragedy. Yet he was saved by his faith in something greater than all of us, something we can all obtain.
This movie is recommended for all. It proves without a doubt that God does hear and answer prayers. It proves that He doesn’t always answer them on our terms, and that He will find a way to get you back to Him if you have the patients, love, and desire.
Many LDS and non-LDS might find this movie hard to watch. It is an LDS/MTV styled movie. It has interviews with the fringe culture that many LDS avoid. It also shows that if you show love and if the Spirit is there, anyone can fall to the Lord. I might even give the movie an LDS-R rating and it might be misunderstood by children, teens, and sheltered adults. If you are a sheltered adult, you might want to watch it with a more expo...
