Just as his dramatic films have often veered into forms of reportage—capturing the travails of demanding locales and challenging scenarios—his documentaries frequently focus on obsessive characters and extreme situations that can border on fiction.

Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation

Director Laura Archibald gathers a vast array of the most influential folk figures of the 60’s to tell the story of New York’s highly popular and, for some, controversial folk movement. Interviews with figures like Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger shine a light on this tight-knit group that came together to fight social injustice in the face of intense government scrutiny. With rarely seen performances from Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, Greenwich Village: Music That Defined A Generation is a testament to the scene’s lasting hold on our society’s collective imagination.

When the police show up, Captain Hakl (Ivan Trojan) believes that there’s more to the heist than meets the eye.
