Obscene: A Portrait Of Barney

Barney Rosset may not be a household name, but he affected the life of every American. Founder of Grove Press and Evergreen Review, Rosset defied convention by publishing Lady Chatterley's Lover and Naked Lunch, distributing the Swedish film I AM CURIOUS YELLOW and passionately fighting censorship in America -- activities that endangered his career, freedom and financial stability. In a documentary "as vital, incisive and entertaining as its subject" Los Angeles Times, Neil Ortenberg and Daniel O'Connor celebrate a true American original.
