A chance to take it all in on the big Rio Theatre‘s big screen (with its even bigger sound!) on Sunday, July17 , that’s what!
Filmmaker Scott Barber‘s documentary takes a peek behind the curtain of the notoriously audacious heavy metal band and its colourful crew, from GWAR‘s early days coming up through the late ’80s, to near-commercial success, including dark times and their triumph over adversity. THIS IS GWAR features interviews with members of the band and others including Alex Winter, ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic, Ethan Embry, Bam Margera, and more.
