WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Matthew Modine stars in the world premiere of his satire that parodies celebrity humanitarianism, Hollywood, and hand sanitizer.
As the big screen star of Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, heartthrob Matthew Modine was 'A-List' all the way. But, that was 1987. Now, he's so far off the A-list, and he needs to get back in the limelight so he needs a Cause. With the help of uber-publicist Whimberly North, Matthew toward the common good and heads off to a small South American village to meet the Chimborazzi tribe and save their alpacas.
