The Obscenity Trial That Started a Revolution. The Poem That Rocked a Generation.
Director: Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman
Writer: Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman
Producer: Jeffrey Friedman, Elizabeth Redleaf, Rob Epstein, Christine K. Walker
It's San Francisco in 1957, and an American masterpiece is put on trial. Howl, the film, recounts this dark moment using three interwoven threads: the tumultuous life events that led a young Allen Ginsberg to find his true voice as an artist, society's reaction (the obscenity trial), and mind-expanding animation that echoes the startling originality of the poem itself. All three coalesce in a genre-bending hybrid that brilliantly captures a pivotal moment-the birth of a counterculture.
