"A MUST-SEE! An essential portrait of an artist who ought to be far better known." -Simon Vozick-Levinson, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“A TERRIFIC DOCUMENTARY. A poignant portrait of an uncompromising artist." - David Rooney,THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"GO SEE THIS FILM! Enthralling and fascinating ... The film charts Ochs' passionate output and genre-defining moments...revealing his sweet genius." - Dennis Dermondy, PAPER MAGAZINE

"FASCINATING. A warts-and-all portrait of a singer and his celebrity ... an overdue look at the '60s folk movement's anti-Dylan." - John Anderson, VARIETY

As our country continues to embroil itself in foreign wars and pins its hopes on a new leader's promise for change, Phil Ochs: There But For Fortune is a timely and relevant tribute to an unlikely American hero. Over the course of a meteoric music career that spanned two turbulent decades, Phil Ochs sought the bright lights of fame and social justice in equal measure - a contradiction that eventually tore him apart. From youthful idealism to rage to pessimism, the arch of Ochs' life paralleled that of the times, and the anger, satire and righteous indignation that drove his music also drove him to dark despair. In this brilliantly constructed film, interview and performance footage of Ochs is illuminated by the ruminations of Joan Baez, Tom Hayden, Pete Seeger, Sean Penn, Peter Yarrow, Christopher Hitchens, Ed Sanders, and others.
