andrewbunney This is fascinating story of an Australian musical icon, the Vegemite sandwich, Downunder classic by Men at Work. The documentary brilliantly assembles the story as told by all the key people.The film is a quintessentially important examination of the legal issues in a tribute v a copyright breach. Everyone will be fascinated by this story of hapless creative artists seeing the fruits of their labours skimmed and plundered. It's funny and moving with some great music.And of course, the law is an ass.5/5 stars Andrew Bunney, Let's Go To The Pictures, Three D Radio, ADELAIDE
