Synopsis by Perry Seibert
This documentary tells the real story of Billy the Kid, the infamous bandit whose daring exploits staying on-the-run from law-enforcement made him a nearly mythic figure. In reality, Henry McCarty, the Kid's real name, led a brief but very difficult life that was shaped during his time in a lawless area of New Mexico.
