How's Your News? Plot Summary and Details

Plot

Video artist and counselor to Camp Jabberwocky -- the country's oldest camp for mentally and physically disabled adults -- Arthur Bradford spins this documentary about an unusual news production team. Since 1993, the camp has produced a series of man-on-the-street videos that are funny, sad, and at times extremely awkward. Those they produced primarily for friends and family have slowly gained a cult following including South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and indie producer John Pierson. The three gathered the funds for the camp video team -- consisting of five reporters with disabilities from Down's syndrome to severe cerebral palsy -- to go on a cross-country trip. Along the way, they interview Vegas showgirls, alligator wranglers, homeless people, cowboys, and truckers. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival.
