Next week, Harry Shearer’s award-winning documentary The Big Uneasy will be screened at two international film festivals in Europe. Mr. Shearer will be present for both showings.

The Big Uneasy is a hardhitting documentary about the human errors that led to the devastating flooding during Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans on August 29, 2005.

In an interview with Colm McAuliffe of The Daily Record, Mr. Shearer said,

“I made this film out of a sense of outrage that the true story behind one of the major news events of the 21st century has never been properly told to a wide audience. It’s a story that continues to have profound implications for the survival of a city that I love.”

In Scotland, Harry Shearer will appear at the Glasgow Film Theatre to introduce The Big Uneasy on Sunday Feb 20, 2011 at 6.30pm. For tickets and information, visit http://www.glasgowfilm.org/.
