The Obscenity Trial That Started a Revolution. The Poem That Rocked a Generation.
Director: Jeffrey Friedman, Rob Epstein
Writer: Jeffrey Friedman, Rob Epstein
Producer: Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman, Christine K. Walker, Elizabeth Redleaf
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.
