Synopsis

Filmmaker Nancy Cohen sits with Abbie Hoffman on the eve of his 50th birthday to discuss living underground, the sixties, consciousness and kreplach power. Wry Cohen, a fox in lamb's clothing gives as good as she gets from uber speaker Hoffman.Whether it's the death penalty or vasectomies, the conversation is like no other.. Abbie makes a lot of good points and Cohen allows herself to look the fool to bring them home.

Together they make a funny coupling, pastrami hanging on their fingers, and revolution only a matzoh ball away.
