What I liked

If only official journalists who parachute into conflict (or disaster or et. and al) zones were as insightful as this comedian, journalism would be much improved and far fewer people would live in a bubble of willful ignorance. I also loved how he didn’t shy away from subtly taking a look at The Cost in friendships, in loyalty, some creators deal with in pursuit of the brass ring. This is a terrific, honest work all around.

What I didn't like

N/A

My overall impression

As deeply informative as it is darkly funny, in this crisp, sharp performance Henry manages to examine his own privilege while he slowly exposes the audience to increasing levels of empathy as his own experiences open up his Western eyes to the bigger picture.
