Teddy Bears' Picnic 2002

The Zambezi Glen is an enigmatic hideaway tailored for esteemed gentlemen, steeped in secrecy for generations. However, this enigma is momentarily unveiled with the introduction of an unprecedented Women’s Day at the glen, which invites the wives and companions of these powerful men, revealing an exclusive glimpse into this extraordinary realm. As these ladies immerse themselves in the atmosphere, we meet the intriguing characters and explore the breathtaking surroundings, before they depart, allowing the true essence of the all-male retreat to surface.

One of the most notable events is the “Assassination of Time” ceremony, a nod to the real-life Cremation of Care held at the Bohemian Grove. This unique gathering is particularly captivating as a regal pelican takes on the symbolic role usually filled by an owl, enhancing the spectacle. The festivities unfold with a dazzling drag show, performed by the club’s members, which one of the glen’s employees secretly documents on camera.

The unauthorized photographs swiftly make their way to the press, igniting a whirlwind of damage control as the leaders scramble to manage the backlash. Simultaneously, the daring employee who captured the controversial images grows increasingly bold, collaborating with a local journalist to clandestinely film additional footage at the glen. This covert mission unveils the more disreputable elements of the retreat, showcasing wild late-night antics, tree-urination rituals, and clandestine excursions to nearby brothels.

As tension escalates, the cameraman’s presence does not go unnoticed by some members, forcing him to make a frantic escape into the woods. The fallout from this breach is profound, as the influential members leverage their extensive connections to track down the fugitive with ruthless determination. Compounding the chaos, a forest fire ignites amidst their efforts, culminating in a disastrous collision between a helicopter dispatched by one of the glen’s leaders and a news helicopter covering the emerging inferno in the dark of night.
