Details

The two self-appointed heroes of democracy and Christianity congratulate themselves on ridding the world of dictatorship. Meanwhile, their war activates a global clash of cultures waged with words of mass destruction and smoking guns. This hilarious savage and thought-provoking satire follows the development of the so-called war on terror from 9/11 right up to the present day. Along the way, Follow My Leader asks awkward questions about Britain's role as faithful poodle of the United States.
