BLOWBACK Season One: The Rise of Slippy Jim N/A
BLOWBACK: Season One is a seven-part series featuring never-before-seen footage of the September 11th attacks as covered by Dan Fogleberg, (not the singer, the other guy). The film uses comedy to puncture the sanctimony surrounding this seminal event, as well spinning a more obscure yarn: the rise and demise of Slippy Jim Aplomb, the preeminent current-events bard of our time. Our two characters seize on 9/11 in polar ways: for Fogleberg, it becomes a botched opportunity to snag the journalistic limelight, while Slippy seizes the moment to convert the rage of the nation into an anthem; a chant for the bereaved.
