Gnarr

The incredible rise of Jon Gnarr, iconoclastic comedian turned Reykjavik mayoral candidate and his controversial Best Party, which began as a parody and turned into a spectacular if controversial success story. No country epitomizes the boom and bust absurdities of capitalism better than Iceland since its sudden crash from economic success story to national bankrupcy. Against this backdrop Gnarr began by making absurd campaign promises like building a dinosaur theme park and pledging to be as corrupt as possible. See where the momentum brought him in this stranger-than-fiction documentary as the real election began, driven on by Tina Turners cheesy 80′s rock anthem Simply the Best.
