Director: HENRY BEAN

Director Bean’s long-awaited follow-up to 2001’s award-winner, The Believer, is a wryly humorous glimpse into one man’s crusade to knock off all that big city street noise.

Stressed out New Yorker David Owen (Robbins) has had enough of the cacophony of daily life in the Big Apple to take vigilante action. His mis- sion begins with vandalizing cars with relentless alarms but soon escalates to a full-scale vigilante situ- ation. David’s campaign of window-smashing and alarm-tampering inevitably leads to an arrest, which brings him to the attention of an opportunistic journalist who makes him into an instant folk hero. But when David goes up against a Giuliani-esque mayor (Hurt), his message is in danger of being drowned out by a symphony of screeching tires and jackhammers until he devises an ingenious scheme to win his fight.

“Look at the demographics of our watershed,” explains Jenny Winkelman, Education & Outreach Coordinator for the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO), which covers portions of the cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Lauderdale, and St. Anthony. “We have a huge audience we’re trying to reach, many of them fairly recent immigrant communities, such as the Hmong and Somali communities. Most traditional watershed materials are produced for a literate, English-speaking audience and may miss important populations.” MORE »
