The documentary that recounts the extraordinary life of author Kurt Vonnegut is screened in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of his birth.
Kurt Vonnegut's novels and his freethinking writing captured the American imagination. His steadfast support of civil liberties, including the freedom of speech, over his lifetime was uncompromising. In this era where calls for book banning are on the rise, examining his life seems to be more important than ever.
Over 25 years, filmmaker Robert B. Weide developed an intimate bond with the author. Their friendship inspired Weide to produce a biographical film of the writer's life and works that features never-before-seen archival footage.
