Monica, is a causality of the 60s an articulate, reflective man
of considerable social conscience. (Los Angles Times). As
an added bonus a Sneak Preview of Kowalski’s New Film
King Outlaw a feature documentary on Punk Legend Johnny
Thunders. Thunders lived in true rock star style, dying of an
overdose in a seedy New Orleans Hotel. Did he fall or was he
pushed? Kowalski may not have all the answers, but certainly
raises more than a few questions. Other films on the program
include Rock Soup a documentary about La Plaza Cultural an
area in Tompkins Square Park NY run by the homeless and the
attempts of the city of New York to shut them down, Chico
and the People the second part of his five part series
exploring displacement in America. Plus many others surprises. |
