“Take a look beneath the surface of any small town and you are sure to encounter plenty of bizarre characters.The award winning documentary Greater Southbridge features more low life loonies than an Eric Bogosian monologue. One-time Southbridge resident Rod Murphy, armed himself with just a hand held camcorder and a well developed sense of the absurd to capture the gritty humor and warmth of the underside of life in his former hometown.Witness the woman who can pop out one of her eyes, or the films central character, Jerry, a ‘civic minded’ bum who collects cans and talks incessantly about putting together an-all girl rock group.Another resident confides his entirely plausible theory that Paul McCartney had both John Lennon and Linda McCartney killed.You could not make this stuff up.”
