The Gilligan Manifesto
Description
At the height of the Cold War, Gilligan's Island depicted seven Americans living in an analogue of a post-apocalyptic world where the survivors have to rebuild civilization. Remarkably, the society they create is pure communist. Interviews with the show's creator and some of the surviving actors, as well from professors from Harvard, reveal that Gilligan's Island was deliberately designed to be dismissed as low brow comedy in order to celebrate Marxism and lampoon Western democratic constructs.

"The Gilligan Manifesto," is conceptually shipwrecked well before completing its one-and-a-half-hour tour.
November 21, 2018
While its pseudo-academic subject matter might have made for a reasonably amusing short, the documentary wears out its welcome long before reaching its final arguments.

The Gilligan Manifesto never quite feels compelling or insightful enough to exploit its radical revelations to its fullest sensationalism. Unfortunately, Soling's clunky documentary never delves into this colorful notion with tongue-lashing vibrancy

[A] quirky, whip-smart documentary.
