Synopsis

When Teri Horton bought a painting in a thrift shop for five dollars, she was stunned when a friend told her that it looked like an original Jackson Pollock and could be worth millions. Working with a leading forensic scientist, Teri learned that a fingerprint on the back of her canvas matched a fingerprint found on a can of paint in Jackson Pollock's studio. More research showed that paint on the floor of Pollock's studio matched the paint on Teri's canvas. Realizing that a Pollock painting the size of hers was worth upwards of $50 million, Teri thought she had won the lottery. “Not so fast,” the art establishment answered, proclaiming her painting worthless. This feature-length documentary captures the 15-year debate between the world’s most prestigious art collectors, authenticators and experts and the feisty, 73 year-old grandma who would not give up.
