Teddy Bears' Picnic backdrop

Teddy Bears' Picnic 2001 Directed by Harry Shearer

For fifty-one weeks a year, they run the country. For one week, they run amok.

In Harry Shearer's tongue-in-cheek comedy, a waiter at Zanbesu Glen (a chi-chi Northern California resort) uses his movie camera to spy on the annual communal vacation of a group of rich, white U.S. government and business leaders who drink and carouse to excess while plotting their next move on the global stage. His goal? To sell the embarrassing and incriminating footage to the media and expose the "leaders" for what they really are.
