The amazing adventures of the brilliant but almost-forgotten American novelist and founder of The Paris Review, Harold Louis “Doc” Humes. A story crammed full of ideas, about utopia, marijuana, literature, protest, paranoia and mental illness. His daughter, Academy-Award nominee Immy Humes, in Doc’s own words, “puts a frame around the wreckage” in her affectionate, yet profoundly disquieting portrait. This film sheds light on an original mind as well as post-war cultural history.
