Russell Brand ponders Jesus, Gandhi, Malcolm X and his own political awakening in award winning director Ondi Timenor's latest film.

The film follows comedian/author/activist Russell Brand as he dives headlong into drugs, sex and fame in an attempt to find happiness, only to realise we have all been nurtured on bad ideas and empty celebrity idols. Channelling his frenetic energy into an exploration of historical leaders for a stand-up tour, Brand finds much that he identifies with and begins his bumpy ride from political agitator to spokesperson-in-the-spotlight to a celebrity with an inspiring propensity for ground-level activism.

Brand: A Second Coming takes audiences behind the scenes of this wildly complex man for an intimate look at what drives Russell Brand as he continues to be the consummate disruptor.
