Honolulu Film Festival – Gold Kahuna Winner for Documentary A tender, vibrant portrait of a Beat Generation icon, A MAN WITHIN explores the brilliant and troubled world of one of our greatest authors. Featuring never before seen archival footage of Burroughs, as well as exclusive interviews with colleagues and confidants such as John Waters, Patti Smith and Iggy Pop, the film, set to a soundtrack by Patti Smith and Sonic Youth, demonstrates how Burroughs’ works spawned a countercultural movement.
