The story of Edgar Väär (1929 Kuressaare, Estonia - 2015 Toronto, Canada), a freelance cameraman, who earned his nickname ‘Fast Eddy’ by reaching the scene of events before police and CBC crime reporters. A major part of his filmed footage has aired on TV. The rest of the footage, over hundreds of thousands of film stock, that he didn’t manage to sell to news broadcasters, are piled up in Eddy’s downtown Toronto penthouse rooms and basement.
