Howl / Oscilloscope Laboratories presents a Werc Werk Works production ; in association with Telling Pictures and Rabbit Bandini productions ; produced by Elizabeth Redleaf, Christine Kunewa Walker ; written for the screen, directed and produced by Rob Epstein & Jeffrey Friedman.
Allen Ginsberg recounts the road trips, love affairs, and search for personal liberation that led to the most timeless, electrifying, and controversial work of his career. Pushing the limits and challenging the mainstream, the passionate and provocative Howl and its publisher find themselves on trial for obscenity, with prosecutor Ralph McIntosh setting out to have the book banned, while defense attorney Jake Ehrlich fervently argues for freedom of speech and creative expression.
