What Is Howl About?
The premise of Howl without spoilers.
In 1957, poet Allen Ginsberg finds himself on trial for obscenity after his groundbreaking poem HOWL is deemed indecent. As Ginsberg recounts his life and work, a legal battle unfolds, pitting him against zealous prosecutor Ralph McIntosh, who aims to censor the poem. Defense attorney Jake Ehrlich champions Ginsberg's right to free expression. A series of often bizarre and deeply personal witness testimonies reveal the heart of the Beat Generation and challenge conventional values, sparking debate about the power of art and the boundaries of societal norms.
