Nelson Algren Documentary--Algren Trailer Spring 2013 http://BestDramaTv.Net

Algren is the first feature length documentary that spotlights the creative legacy of one of the most underrated American writers of the twentieth century, Nelson Algren; recipient of the first National Book Award for Man With a Golden Arm (1950), Simone de Beauvoir's "Chicago Bohemian" lover, a Beat writer before the Beats, a forerunner of the Gonzo movement, drinking buddy of Roger Ebert. The photos of Art Shay and Stephen Deutch give us a unique and intimate view, along with never seen photos of Algren and de Beauvoir and candid audio of Algren. Through interviews with internationally known artists, writers, musicians and filmmakers, including William Friedkin, Billy Corgan, Wayne Kramer, Philip Kaufman, and Russell Banks, Algren will reestablish Algren's huge impact on countless literary and artistic champions, while defining American urban fiction. http://BestDramaTv.Net
