Saving the world through FILMS

After years of being a leader in world of comedy (the Simpsons? Spinal Tap? Saturday Night Live?) Harry Shearer returns to our screens in a very different guise – as the director of searing political documentary The Big Uneasy. Would we be able to contain ourselves upon meeting him? We would soon find out…

A documentary that simultaneously makes you despair at and exalt in the capacity of our fellow man, The Big Uneasy is an absolute must-watch. Uncovering the real story behind the New Orleans disaster of 2005, it’s a tale of government blunders, buried reports and continuing oversights that culminate in a conclusion far more terrifying than any Hollywood thrill ride. It’s just a shame that John Goodman keeps interrupting.
