"I'm a person."Britain in the near future, and Steven Shorter (Paul Jones) is the biggest pop star in the world, manipulated by his managers to sell anything and everything and eventually used to gain the public's support for a quasi fascistic state. A puppet, he realises how deep he's fallen when enlightened by Vasessa Richie (Jean Shrimpton).
Watkins takes his pseudo documentary style and points it at the manipulation of youth through the media. Unfortunately it failed at the time, possibly due to its plodding pace, but the message is even more relevant today.
