Nat
Hentoff is one of the enduring voices of the last 65 years, a writer who
championed jazz as an art form and who also led the rise of ‘alternative’
journalism in America. This unique documentary wraps the themes of liberty,
identity and free expression around a historical narrative that stretches from
the Great Depression to the Patriot Act.
At
the core of the film are three extraordinary, intimate conversations with
Hentoff. Commentary and perspective are offered through additional interviews
with such luminaries as Amiri Baraka, Stanley Crouch, Floyd Abrams, Aryeh Neier
and Dan Morgenstern.
Interwoven through it all is the sublime music of Duke
Ellington, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus and Bob Dylan, along with
never-before-seen photographs and archival footage of these artists and other
cultural figures at the height of their powers.
