Summary

In 2004, a man was found naked, beaten, and barely conscious behind a Georgia Burger King. He had no ID, no wallet, and absolutely no memory of who he was. For more than a decade, the man who came to be known as "Benjaman Kyle" lived as a living ghost...the only known amnesia case of its kind in the United States. Chanley Painter sits down with Shannon and Eric Evangelista, the investigative team and co-executive producers behind Hot Snakes Media. They dive into their groundbreaking new documentary, The Many Lives of Benjaman Kyle, to explore the mind-bending twists of a decade-long search for identity. Learn more about your ad choices.
