“Genuinely surprising….an exquisite look at one of the great creative instigators of our time.”—Ain’t It Cool News
It’d be difficult to name a more influential creator, writer, and producer in the history of television than Norman Lear. He addressed the issues of the day through the legendary 1970s comedies All in the Family, Good Times, The Jeffersons, and Maude, starting national dialogues and shifting the country’s sensibilities on ideas of race, class, creed, and feminism. This highly visual documentary is the definitive chronicle of Lear’s life, work, and achievements, offering a dynamic portrait that matches the spirit of its subject. (92 mins., DCP)
