“That’s Phelim!”
Phillip Roman | October 12, 2009 | 9:19 pmI was just watching the news and they announced that an Irish documentarian was cut off in a Q&A session with Al Gore. While over hearing the accent, Suzanne shouted, “That’s Phelim!”. Sure it was. Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney are the Irish directors the movie, Mine Your Own Business. When I was at Seattle University, I hosted Phelim and Ann on campus. It was a great honor to be involved with their Seattle premiere of the film. After the showing, Phelim invited me to have a drink at a pub. I was sad to remind him that the American drinking age was 21 and that I was only 19.
Phelim was at an Al Gore talk at The Society of Environmental Journalists. Phelim is making a documentary titled Not Evil Just Wrong. He is looking at many of the errors that the British High Court has found in Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.
Would you believe what happened to Phelim when he asked Gore about the Court’s ruling? Journalists killed his mic. Journalists censored Phelim and protected a politician.
Watch for yourselves.
It's so sad that we couldn't go hang out with them at that pub. That would have been so fun. That was funny when you told him that we were too young and he said, "Well you can see over the bar, can't ya? What's the problem?" LOL
