Masked and Anonymous
Would you reach out your hand to save a drowning man if you thought he might pull you in?
Directed by Larry Charles
Produced by Marching Band Productions, BBC Film
A darkly satirical, deliberately enigmatic meditation on corruption, redemption, and the gap between public spectacle and private truth, wrapped in a rock-and-roll charity concert.
A nation wracked with civil war and social unrest anticipates a giant charity concert, organized by deceptive promoter Uncle Sweetheart, who plans on raking in huge sums for himself from the event. Headlining is legendary musician Jack Fate, whose prison time is cut short with Sweetheart's help. Meanwhile, journalist Tom Friend investigates the corrupt concert and sets out to unmask the truth to the public.
