Discrimination: They Think It's All Over

About This Movie

Discrimination: They Think It's All Over blends comedy and social commentary through the lens of Tim McGarry, who’s more than just a comedian here; he’s drawing from his own past as a lawyer for the Fair Employment Commission. The tone is a curious mix of light-heartedness and serious reflection on the complexities of Fair Employment in Northern Ireland. McGarry's delivery is conversational, almost like you're chatting with a friend who's just unearthed some fascinating history. It explores themes of equality and justice, but does so in a way that’s accessible, engaging, and sometimes humorous. The pacing feels relaxed, allowing the audience to absorb the weight of the subject matter while still enjoying the lighter moments. A unique angle on a serious topic that often gets overshadowed in broader discussions.

This film is somewhat of a rarity in the niche of political comedy, especially concerning Northern Ireland's historical context. Its unique approach, combining legal insight with humor, has garnered interest among collectors who appreciate works that tackle social issues with a lighter touch. Availability can be limited, particularly in physical formats, making it a curious piece for those focused on documentaries or socially relevant comedic films.
