Justin Schein David Mehlman Left on Purpose Revolting News Interview
Thelma Blitz for Revolting News interviews documentary film makers Justin Schein and David Mehlman about their award winning new documentary, Left on Purpose, the story of Mayer Vishner. Mayer was a friend of Tuli Kupferberg from the War Resisters League, a Yippie activist, writer, gardener, colleague and friend of Abbie Hoffman, Phil Ochs, Ed Sanders, Paul Krassner and other leading lights of the '60s countercultural movement. Shadowbox Films was documenting his activist career when in the midst of making the film, Mayer announced he was going to take his life as final act of protest. He could not be dissuaded and so left us with a picture of the pain, "Left on Purpose." To reach the film makers for screenings or additional info e-mail:
