SPOKESPERSON is a comedy/drama centered on the pretty mouthpiece for a factory suspected of pollution crimes. It investigates the methods used by both sides of a controversial issue to portray their agendas. The focus is on the spokesperson and the erosion of her personal value systems. Despite the heavy themes there is a lot of humor. |
