The Final Member
Documentary - 2012 - Canada - English, Icelandic - 75 minutes
The Icelandic Phallological Museum, the world’s only museum dedicated to the penis, has been desperately seeking the one specimen that has eluded them: a human penis. After years of searching the museum curator has tracked down two potential donors: an ailing Icelandic explorer and womanizer and a man from the US who has affectionately named his member "Elmo". Beyond these two men's over-sized egos to be the first, the curator must also navigate an archaic law about the "legal length" of a penis on display and the result is both a hilarious and thought provoking journey with a surprising twist that must be seen to be believed.
