Dementia Americana is the true story of the crime of the century. 

New York, 1906. Heir to a vast fortune, Harry Kendal Thaw spends most of his days gambling, recklessly pursuing his curious sexual appetites, consuming incredible amounts of cocaine and generally scandalizing all of New York high society. Two things in the world command Harry’s attention: Evelyn Nesbit, the 'girl on the red velvet swing,' idolized as a paragon of beauty and innocence and famous architect Stanford White, the Pharaoh of Fifth Avenue who possesses an unnaturally large mustache.

A powder keg of anger, betrayal, madness and violence leads to the crime of the century and 3 shots directly to the face.

Written by Louis Aquiler and Chris D'Amato 
Directed by Paul Mancini
