Description: DVD packaged in certified Green Forestry eco pack This incisive and entertaining portrait of American poet Lawrence Ferlighetti explores his vital role as catalyst for numerous literary careers and for the Beat movement itself. Interviews with Ferlighetti and others reveal a rich mélange of characters and events that unfolded in postwar America, including the publication of Allen Ginsberg's Howl, and Jack Kerouac's On the Road, as well as the divisive events of Vietnam war, the sexual revolution, and this country's perilous march towards intellectual and political bankruptcy. In 1953 Ferlighetti opened City Lights Bookstore, which quickly evolved into an iconic institution symbolizing social change and literary freedom. Continuing to thrive for over five decades, it is a cornerstone of America's modern literary and cultural history.
