Unlike virtually all materials on Emery, which see him as a martyr and champion of Canadian sovereignty, Citizen Marc looks at Emery as an odd, ambiguous figure who has campaigned not just in favour of marijuana legalization but also in the name of his own celebrity and his unexpectedly “Tea Party”-style political views. The film questions whether Emery, in his headlong quest for notoriety and libertarianism, generated some kind of meaningful and progressive political energy or simply mounted an empty performance for its own sake. <94mn 22s>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
