PHIL OCHS: THERE BUT FOR FORTUNE

February 1st, 2011

PHIL OCHS: THERE BUT FOR FORTUNE- 2010. “Fiercely devoted to championing peace and social justice, folk singer Phil Ochs rose to fame at the height of the 1960s protest movements, yet his incisive lyrics and resonant melodies remain relevant for audiences today. This film tells his story. Through performance footage and interviews with Ochs’s contemporaries and admirers — including Joan Baez, Pete Seeger and Sean Penn — the documentary paints a portrait of a uniquely American artist.” Great reviews.

7/29/11- An excellent documentary about this man that I didn’t know or remember too much about. Good archival footage as well. TRDB. Netflix.
