Garrett P @GarrettPog 09/29/2023 I was unfamiliar with Barry Crimmins prior to this, and this painted a whole image of a comedian that targeted the many societal problems that affected him deeply. A fascinating documentary about an out-of-the-ordinary man.

Political soap box wrapped into a comedy act, that can be easily summarized as "Government is stupid" is not new and most definitely predates Crimmins. Granted, he did this with far more grace and wit, than modern comedians do. Crimmins is hellbent on telling you the truth and nothing but the truth, of course as long as it aligns with his and your political leanings. All that is just first part of documentary. The second part is what elevates this film. In fact, it makes it sort of frustrating that this "crusade" wasn't the main part of the narrative. Although I believe Crimmins would be against this. Since by his own words he does not see himself as a victim but a witness. And it would also shift the focus to much. Crimmins's perspective and stance on the trauma his was dealt is inspiring and makes his character more robust, than it appeared at the start of the documentary.
