Monty Python In Aberystwyth

Overview

In 1979, Monty Python's Life of Brian opened in cinemas around Britain, finding a place for itself in movie history. However, the film's release was plagued by controversy, causing many local authorities to ban showings of the feature. By 2009, the ban only remains in place in Aberystwyth. This documentary reveals how Sue Jones-Davies, the city's mayor — and the actor who played Brian's girlfriend in the movie — has campaigned to have the ban lifted. Includes contributions by Pythons Michael Palin and Terry Jones
