Howl | Revry

Director: Rob Epstein

Director: Jeffrey Friedman

Allen Ginsberg is a poet, counter-culture adventurer and chronicler of the Beat Generation. In his famously confessional style, Ginsberg recounts his life and search for personal liberation that led to the most timeless and electrifying work of his career, the poem HOWL. Meanwhile, in a San Francisco courtroom, HOWL is on trial. Prosecutor Ralph McIntosh sets out to prove that the book should be banned, while defense attorney Jake Ehrlich argues for freedom of speech and creative expression.
