Doug and the Slugs & Me (2022). 1h 28m

“There is much to like about this documentary featuring the director and her next-door neighbours, the Bennetts, more specifically its talented son, Doug. Charm oozes from everyone who is interviewed, even the directoru0026#39;s mom, who is none to keen on the sometimes confounding Doug, whose intelligence and drive make for great storytelling from the rest of the interviewees.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAfter a career cartooning for the then underground Georgia Straight, Doug went on to form one of Canadau0026#39;s finest groups, Doug and Slugs. This doc explores the rise of the group through the eyes of the director, her family and band members.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI liked it a lot but I couldnu0026#39;t help but hope that a proper documentary about the multifaceted Doug Bennett and his motley crew of wonderful musicians will also follow. Itu0026#39;s long overdue.”
