5.0 out of 5 stars Superb docu about a counter-culture hero
This is just superb! One and a half hours of brilliant film making about a modern day hero. Sinclair was a scapegoat for the Nixon administration but proved that if enough folk rise up against the powers that be, things can change - includes great footage from both then and now, some truly brilliant muisc [MC5, John and Yoko, Sinclair's own Jazz ensemble etc.] dynamic...

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good documentary.
A good overall history of John Sinclair. Some good footage as well. Not terrible not amazing. Would like more old footage...interviews and less new ones, I guess.

This is just superb! One and a half hours of brilliant film making about a modern day hero. Sinclair was a scapegoat for the Nixon administration but proved that if enough folk rise up against the powers that be, things can change - includes great footage from both then and now, some truly brilliant muisc [MC5, John and Yoko, Sinclair's own Jazz ensemble etc.] dynamic interviews and a wholly professional edit, this must rank as one of the year's finest documentary films. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real history lesson, November 30, 2007
This review is from: 20 to Life: Life and Times of John Sinclair (DVD)
If there is anyone out there interested in bypassing the official "story" about what the 60's were like... this is the way. A small grounp of dedicated people can make a difference. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has...
