Item Description

"Wrestling With Angels is a feature documentary film about the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning playwright Tony Kushner (Angels in America, Caroline or Change, Homebody/Kabul).

It tells the story of a relentlessly creative spirit at work and of how Kushner, raised in the Deep South in Lake Charles, Louisiana, would become an outspoken activist, a compassionate spokesperson for outsiders, and one of today’s most important and entertaining playwrights. At its core the film explores the mystery of creativity, its sources and Kushner's compelling plays that are set against the moral and politcal concerns of our times.

The story of Kushner as an artist and activist is also the story of a father and son relationship. Finally, it is the inspiring tale of how a passionately committed person can make a difference for social justice. Wrestling With Angels by Academy Award-winner Freida Lee Mock takes place against the backdrop of three tumultuous years in America from September 11, 2001 to the 2004 Presidential election. The film features acclaimed theater and movie actors in unforgettable, entertaining scenes from Kushner’s new work – Marcia Gay Harden, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson."
