Doc Film 'A Savage Art: The Life & Cartoons of Pat Oliphant' Trailer

"You haven't really made it in Washington, until Pat Oliphant has made fun of you." Magnolia Pictures has revealed the full official trailer for a documentary film titled A Savage Art: The Life & Cartoons of Pat Oliphant, arriving in theaters starting in September this fall. This recently premiered at the DC/DOX Film Festival in Washington DC. A Savage Art film chronicles the incredible life & career of political cartoonist Patrick Oliphant, aka Pat, spanning fifty years and ten U.S. presidents. It features interviews with Pat, his family, friends, and colleagues, alongside archival footage and hundreds of his distinctive cartoons. The film also provides a concise history of political cartoons, illustrating their significance and influence on Pat and other cartoonists. It underscores why, in today's era of political polarization & corporate media control, political cartoonists like Oliphant remain crucial in holding power accountable. It's a timely documentary on this renowned political cartoonist - originally from Australia, he's now 89 years old. Looks like he really was one of the best to ever do it. I want to pause on every last one of his comics just to laugh at them even more. // Continue Reading ›
