"Documentarian Jerry Aronson's film is a walk down memory lane for children of the 60's who have forgotten what the throbbing idealism of that era was all about. And where it came from: the preceding decade's Beat Generation." - Moving Pictures Magazine
Visionary, radical, spiritual seeker, renowned poet, founding member of a major literary movement, champion of gay rights, Buddhist and Jew, political activist and teacher, Allen Ginsberg led a remarkable life that challenged the very soul of America. This revealing documentary, which includes the poet's readings of work such as his masterpiece Howl, chronicles Ginsberg's life from his childhood days in New Jersey to his years spent at Columbia University collaborating with William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, to his position as sage poet and teacher in Boulder.
