documentary

Straightforward treatment of the radical lefty whose books and lectures had a profound effect of what we now call "the 60's."

Hopes/expectations for a better world were ignited...the failure to achieve them led to disillusionment and an abandonment of even the idea that society can be changed by the idealistic young.
