Runtime

Synopsis

Henry Rollins delivers a performance from his recent Shock & Awe Tour, the title of which is irreverently inspired by George Bush's early predictions regarding the impact of the Iraqi War. Drawing on the same ferocious energy he displayed as the front man for the punk group Black Flag, Rollins offers scathing observations based on his recent USO tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. He also critiques the American political and cultural landscape and explores more personal topics, discussing his eclectic career spanning music, books, and television and film. He shares insights gained from his extensive travels and recounts his amusingly unsuccessful search for love. The performance was filmed at the Paramount Theater in Seattle during his spoken word tour.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
