Winnebago Man
Dir(s): Ben Steinbauer
Program: World Showcase
Run Time: 84 | USA | Language: English
Jack Rebney had a bad day. In fact, he had 14 bad days in a row. And he lost his temper. A lot. Since it happened while filming a promotional video for Winnebago, it's all on tape. Fast forward 20 years. Outtakes never meant to be seen are a YouTube hit. Viewed by more than a million people, five minutes of Jack spitting, swearing, and fly-swatting have given him an unshakable reputation as The Angriest RV Salesman in the World. In an age of entertainment without consent, this generation is the first to have to reconcile their social conscience against the ease of using technology. Filmmaker Ben Steinbauer explores this conflict in a surprising and heartfelt look at Jack Rebney, the man and the phenomenon. Maybe Jack is angry. Maybe he has a right to be. Thankfully, somebody finally thought to ask-and the answer isn't quite what you'd expect. Sarafina DiFelice.
