In the confines of a London dinner party, Tim argues with a hippy named Storm. While Storm herself may not be converted, audiences from London to Sydney have been won over by Tim's wordplay and the timely message of the piece in a society where science is attacked as the enemy of religion, alternative medicine given credence and public funding, and psychics have prime time TV exposure.

Tim Minchin's 'Storm' is a 9-minute beat poem that has become an anthem for critical thinking worldwide, attracting over a million views. In 2010, the BAFTA-longlisted animated version received its film festival premiere at Encounters and was released to the general public on YouTube in April 2011.
