Michael Winterbottom
Genre
Documentary
Starring
Russell Brand
Director Michael Winterbottom and controversial comedian Russell Brand join forces for this provocative documentary exploring the recent financial crisis. Two very different artists make an unlikely pairing in this thought-provoking documentary. Michael Winterbottom, esteemed director of projects as diverse as The Trip, 24 Hour Party People and A Mighty Heart, teams up with outspoken comedian Russell Brand to delve into the dark heart of the financial crisis that rocked the entire world. This polemical expose combines documentary filmmaking, archive footage and comedy to highlight the wealth gap that continues to plague our society.
“It’s about inequality and why the one percent [of the world’s wealthy] seem to have so much and the rest of us not quite so much,” Winterbottom told BBC Radio 4’s program Front Row in a recent interview. “Everyone knows about equality and what’s going on in the world, so the idea is to point out the ludicrous extremes of our society.”
