Intimate account of the extraordinary life and work of one of America’s literary giants, filmed across four decades.
When he was younger, enthralled by his novel 'Slaughterhouse-Five', Robert Weide wrote a letter to Kurt Vonnegut, proposing to make a documentary on the author. Surprisingly, Vonnegut agreed, and the two struck up a decades-long collaboration that grew into an enduring friendship.
Filled with rare archival footage and interviews with family, colleagues and Vonnegut himself, Weide's portrait offers a deep, intimate look into the life and work of one of the giants of American literature.
