The daughters of the activist lawyer William Kunstler, Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler, are the authors of this film about the career of the controversial and combative attorney the New York Times aptly dubbed “the most hated and most loved lawyer in America,” but that does not mean they are not otherwise eminently qualified to take on such a project. The sisters are the founders of Off Center Media and have produced a host of documentaries, including Tulia, Texas: Scenes from the Drug War, which took the honors for Best Documentary Short at the Woodstock Film Festival and, more to the point, was instrumental in winning exoneration for 46 wrongfully convicted people, an overwhelming proffer of proof that they are indeed their father’s daughters.
Among America's most pioneering and enigmatic sculptors of the 20th Century is Reuben Nakian, whose works are the subject of an exhibition at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts, located at 357 N. La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles. The extends through March 20.
