Zach Leary

Journalizing his final year before dying of cancer in May 1996, Dr. Leary encouraged everyone to "turn on, tune in and drop out." The film captures the real man behind the legend; vox-pops with friends, colleagues and family pepper the storyline that made up the multi-faceted man who was author, psychologist, teacher, guru, fugitive-from-justice and dignified humorist. We see him in his experimental 1960s, the hippie 70s, his thoughtful 80s and the futuristic 90s. We see his musings on life & death and, after succumbing to the inevitable, we witness the (somewhat macabre) after-death cryogenic storage of his severed head for his optimistic, future generations to do with what they may.
