Flush
is produced by Underdog Entertainment
- no strangers to controversy
- having created the daring
late night series, Below
the Belt. Widely respected
for the quality of the company’s
documentary work, Flush
is helmed by award-winning director
Luiz DeBarros (Metamorphosis,
Death, By Night).
Flush combines interviews
with both everyday and extraordinary
people on their toilet experiences,
together with profiles of unusual
toilets, and a smattering of
loo history.
The documentary takes a look
at the unusual and fascinating
things we do in toilets, from
reading to having sex. We’ll
take an irreverent peek at public
toilets, cultural perspectives
on the loo, toilet décor
and gender issues. Flush
examines the joys of kitsch
toilet décor and explores
many of the bizarre attitudes
our society and diverse cultures
attach to the loo.
Says director Luiz DeBarros,
“The first question everyone
asks is,’ why a documentary
on toilets?’, but once
you start talking about the
subject, you can’t get
people to stop! The toilet is
an integral part of our lives
- it intimately reflects our
values, culture and preoccupations”,
he adds.
