Paul Goodman Changed My Life immerses you in an era of high intellect when New York was
speaking culturally and artistically; when ideas, and the people who propounded them,
seemed to punch in at a higher weight class than they do now. Using a treasure trove of archival
multimediaselections from Goodman's poetry (read by Garrison Keillor and Edmund White);
quotes from Susan Sontag, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Noam Chomsky; plentiful footage of
Goodman himself; plus interviews with his family, peers and activistsdirector/producer
Jonathan Lee and producer/editor Kimberly Reed (Prodigal Sons) have woven together a rich
portrait of an intellectual heavyweight whose ideas are long overdue for rediscovery.
USA, 2011, 89 min., color and B&W
