BBFF22: See Mandy Run

Synopsis

World Premiere.

A unique hybrid of stand-up comedy and political documentary, See Mandy Run is an intimate behind the scenes portrait charismatic comedian and community activist Mandy Nolan as she runs a hugely popular campaign as Greens candidate in the Federal seat of Richmond during the worst climate change crisis her beloved Northern Rivers has ever faced.

Mandy lays bare her own personal struggles with domestic violence and takes us on a journey from her childhood deep in the heartland of Joh Bjelke- Peterson's Queensland to her rise as a local celebrity in the Byron Bay region, an Australian beacon of counterculture and activism.

She may not have won the seat, but she won over many hearts and minds. As climate change continues to threaten our future, Mandy continues to help the community she loves so much.
