Fool Proof

Overview

Fool Proof takes us on an international roller coaster ride as we explore the history and art of clowning. With professional clown Beni Malone as ringmaster, this one hour documentary is a visual feast which celebrates the rich history and recent renaissance of the most animated of performing arts. This journey comes full circle when Malone is joined on stage by his aerialist daughter, Anahareo. Fool Proof combines rare archival footage with fascinating real life stories, to create a springboard into the world phenomena of circus arts.
