Tahoe Film Fest - Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You
(USA, 2016, 92 min.)
Directors: Heidi Ewing, Rachel Grady
Producers: Brent Miller, Suzanne Hillinger
With: Norman Lear, George Clooney, Jon Stewart, Amy Poehler, Rob Reiner, Phil Rosenthal
Arguably the most influential creator, writer, and producer in the history of television, Norman Lear brought primetime into step with the times. Using comedy and indelible characters, his legendary 1970s shows such as All in the Family, Maude, Good Times and The Jeffersons, bodly cracked open dialogue and shifted the national consciousness, injecting enlightened humanism into sociopolitical debates on race, class, creed and feminism. The film is the definitive chronicle of Mr. Lears life, work, and achievements, but it is so much more than an arms-length, past-tense biopic; at 93, Mr. Lear is as vital and engaged as he ever was.
