"The last day in the life of TLC's Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes began with an outdoor bath and her praising the sun, moments captured in filming she did in Honduras in April 2002 as she explored meaning in her existence," remarks BOB LONGINO of the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
And, in the provocative documentary "The Last Days of Left Eye," moviegoers also witness her life's penultimate moment, riding along as passengers when Lisa struggles with the steering wheel of the Mitsubishi SUV. "It is shocking video, captured seconds before the crash that killed her one month before her 31st birthday."
The movie is directed by Oscar nominee Lauren Lazin ("Tupac: Resurrection"), focuses mostly on the month the TLC member spent in Honduras before her death. "On her retreat, Lopes and friends took along a camera and began documenting her mental explorations. She talks about many things — the 1994 fire she admitted setting at the mansion of former boyfriend and football star Andre Rison, and the inspirations in Atlanta that led to the lyrics for TLC's Grammy-nominated 'Waterfalls.'"
***"The Last Days of Left Eye," will air on VH1's "Rock Docs" TONIGHT!
