Kenneth Bowser’s talking-and-singing-heads film is about ’60s folk troubadour and tireless activist Ochs, who seems almost as oppressed by the fame of Bob Dylan as by the Vietnam War. A high-pitched singer, witty lyricist, and true warrior for good causes, Ochs comes off as a gutsy dreamer whose personal charm and searching mind fell afoul of history and his own (schizophrenic, alcoholic) devils. Testifying with love and pain are, among others, his family, Joan Baez, Tom Hayden, Dave Van Ronk, Sean Penn, Pete Seeger, Peter Yarrow, and Christopher Hitchens. (2011) — David Elliott
