Clark and Lewis

Who does not love a well-written satire that aims to dismantle the monolithic idea of heroism associated with white men that continues to erase and overlook the bloody history that constitutes its foundation? Or simply put, if you have led yourself to this mockumentary of a film, consider it a wise decision.

Artfully constructed with slapstick comedy of the misadventures of two nineteenth century explorers, the film is a treat that serves a dual purpose - draw your attention to several problematic aspects of society, while also providing a lighthearted break from the said society and its problems. The chemistry between it's only two actors is the main character of the film, a narrative marked by the source material in the form of citations and sources that await the viewer at the end. Of course their sacrosanct authenticity further helps to drive the message home - a powerful, relevant comment in the garb of humour.

The film keeps you engaged and entertained throughout, while also leaving you with the desire for more and the door open with the promise of subsequent chapters in the story. Here's an important history lesson, make sure to not miss it.
