Weak Effort

This film is roughly 29 minutes long, about 24 minutes longer than it should be. For the entire time the viewer is bombarded with flashing images, most of which are indiscernible and Leary's commentary which, in a nutshell, is "chaos is good, question authority".

The people Leary is trying to reach out to in this film will be turning off after 5 minutes.
