The Road Of Excess + Q&A

About The Road Of Excess + Q&A

The Road Of Excess is a film about mental health, addiction and toxic masculinity through the eyes of ex-Dirty Sanchez star Matt Pritchard.

Dirty Sanchez was a Welsh Jackass that was one of MTV Europe’s most popular shows in the early ’00s. After its end, Matt fell into darker times. Through the stories shared with his co-stars, his mother and his best friend, we learn about the fallout they suffered. Dealing with these demons Matt exchanged one addiction for another - endurance sports. Each time the challenge has to be bigger and at the end of 2020 he decides to join a team to row across the Atlantic. 

Will fifty days at sea, rowing two hours on and two hours off help him find peace? Or has losing himself meant his journey will never end?

The screening will be followed by a live onstage Q&A with Matt Pritchard. Hosted by Matt Stocks.
