BT-06. Call Me Lucky

USA, Feature Documentary, 2015, 106 min

Barry Crimmins is still pissed. His hellfire brand of comedy has rained lightning bolts on American audiences and politicians for decades. Alternately self-effacing and scathing, his ribald comedy took audiences by force into his never-ending war on ignorance, and he has had a role in discovering and supporting the development of many of today’s comedians. After a highly successful career, Crimmins retired and went back to his own dark and painful past, one that inspired his intense campaign of activism to help save others from child abuse. But, this time around, he is REALLY pissed.
