Polis is This wrestles with
the six foot eight inch 275lb colossus of poetry. Charles Olson,
in the squared circle of understanding. Through never before seen
footage and interviews actor John Malkovich leads an all-star unit
in a search and explore mission.
Olson, the "big fire source"
for a restless generation of poets known as The Beats stands more
revealed than ever before. Through Ferrini's poetry-in-motion lens,
viewers can now see Olson's landscapes through the fresh eyes of
America's Archaeologist of Morning.
"Sublime...simply stunning"
says Author Jim Harrison. "An invaluable contribution to our literature"
notes Russell Banks.
Charles Olson the "original
aboriginal" fights to save his town from so-called progress as
the bullzoder of change rumbles down Main Street USA.
His challenge to us? We must
either rediscover the earth or leave it. Have we all become estranged
from that which is most familiar? See Polis Is This before the
cultural wetlands are completely drained and maybe you can save
the place where you live.
