Zeitgeist Films acquires all North American rights to U.S.
documentary PAUL GOODMAN CHANGED MY LIFE, directed by Jonathan Lee
Zeitgeist Films is pleased to announce the acquisition of Jonathan
Lee's documentary feature PAUL GOODMAN CHANGED MY LIFE for all North
American rights. Over two decades in the making, Lee's portrait of
one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers is structured
around interviews with family, peers, and activists whose encounters
with Paul Goodman the man or with his writings changed their lives.
Most renown as the author of the best selling GROWING UP ABSURD in
1960, Goodman was also a poet, pacifist, visionary, out queer (and
family man) who influenced a generation of contemporary authors,
thinkers and activists. Rich archival footage and readings by Goodman
and others, including Garrison Keillor and Edmund White, of his
poetry and prose, plus Living Theatre co-founder Judith Malina
reading selections from her journals, provide a visceral sense of
this prodigiously gifted, original and prescient man.
A fall premiere at New York's Film Forum is scheduled. A national
release will follow.
