This movie is about an American named Barney who grows up in Chicago and becomes one of the pioneers and advocates for free speech and self expression in America. He fought for civil liberties before Obama made it popular. I don't think this movie is for anyone looking for an action flick or comedy romance. You have to be interested in American historyand great music (Doors, Bob Dylan). In the end, you'll walk away inspired by this man's courage and humbled by what one person's vision can do for his country.
