the bus arrived just as the ocean in the sky fell
Directors edition of the previously released but banned documentary, The Orange Collar Crew – A Worker’s Outrage”
The Original: The original film was first screened at the Kan’t Film Festival. It was original and empathetic. It was the extremely honest, deranged, yet strangely sensitive depiction of a motley troupe of 8 Mennonite crackers and their well intentioned but ultimately misguided attempt to tackle the crack problem on the streets of a surreal Manitoba town.
Censorship and Banning:
After the initial screening and ensuing controversy, the footage was re-edited and essentially gutted by MHM studios before finally being entirely suppressed by the Global Film Academy of Reinfeld, at the behest of the American Fundamentalist Picnic Club, the CIA, Mothers Against Fun, the DEA, FDA, and many other organizations that suck.
The documentary exposed the secret world of asphalt crack sealing. Also documented was the excessive (water) drinking of all 8 members of the crew, allusions to the use of nicotine type drugs, as well as several shots of frontal nudity.
The Story:
The actual story revolves around these 8 men, armed with nothing but their wits, super heated black rubber, steel toe boots, strange delusions, large doses of hallucinogenic drugs, and plaute deutsch.
The Orange Collar Crew waged an extended war on street defects in the town of Winkler at the turn of the 21st century.
The Director:
A revered iconoclastic fool, lauded as being the most genuine, empathetic, and philosophically incoherent poets of his time, Kiev F followed the trials and tribulations of The City of Winkler Public works crew for several years to put together this master work.
Popularity of Original: The original releases never achieved mainstream recognition despite becoming available on the black-market and on the internet. The amount of censorship which destroyed the integrity of the movie made it difficult to follow.
Never had mainstream success due to its harsh critique of 21st century materialism and rationalism and the controversial subject matter. The original release of this film was derided and criticized by the right and left who saw it as a product of the militant solipsists trying to question the active suppression of the Public and Civic workers of the world (the so-called Orange Collars), and the legitimacy of the totalitarian democracies of the West
Lifting of Censorship and Re-release:
“The Orange Collar Crew” was dismissed and derided by the Global Film Academy of Reinfeld, The Winkler Coalition for Coherence and Truthfulness in Philosophy, and condemned by the North American Association of Mennonite Public Works Workers. It was banned in 156 member states of the United Nations (however, The Netherlands never suppressed or even censored the file
After multiple months of suppression by the Global Film Academy of Reinfeld, Friesen Brothers Films decided to take the radical step of remastering the footage to rid it of the censorship, resulting in this redux version of the original “The Orange Collar Crew” resulting in the dramatically improved “Orange Collar Crew – Directors Edition”. Forgoing the opportunity to make profits, the documentary has been released into the public domain under standard Open Source Agreements. This extended version contains scenes originally thought to be too extreme, shocking, misleading, totally baffling, absurd, and retarded for public consumption.
This incendiary directors cut shows the fanatically fervor fed by the Orange Collars conviction that awareness of the self, and the complete inability of natural science or philosophy to ever provide even a singular proof of the existence of realities apart from the self, is justification for the practice of hedonistic, nihilistic, anarchy.
The remastered edition contains never before seen footage in its original, uncensored, unrated, and explicit form.
Clearly documented is the extreme, even excessive zeal of the Orange Collars in attacking the street crack problems plaguing Winkler asphalt.
It is hoped that these steps will allow the message of the Orange Collar Crew to ring throughout the land.
