Synopsis
Call Us Ishmael
Each and every year hundreds of people flock to New Bedford, MA in bleak mid-winter to partake in a celebration like none other. They read this single book out loud over the course of two full days without stopping. All of these people have one thing in common: they are obsessed with Moby Dick, the book that most call the Great American Novel.
The Donn of Tiki
Donn Beach spent years embellishing the details of his extraordinary life. This documentary attempts to separate fact from fabrication with the help of the people who knew him, historians, and recently resurfaced audio recordings of Donn himself, as we explore the legacy Donn left behind.
