The Speed of Thought
They know Everything but the Truth
Directed by Evan Oppenheimer
Produced by Black Sand Pictures, Soho Screen Productions
A paranoid sci-fi thriller about a telepath discovering he's been systematically deceived by the government agency that raised him, built on espionage, distrust, and the search for truth.
Joshua Lazarus (Nick Stahl) is a telepath who has been raised in a NSA foster home. Lazarus helps the government by using his abilities. He is told by the agency that the telepathy is a side effect of Widmann's Disease, and that he will become insane in time and eventually die from the illness. However, Lazarus meets a woman with similar powers (Mía Maestro) who does not have any sign of the disease, launching Lazarus to confront the lies he has been told
