Cinema Village kicks off the New York City theatrical run this Friday of Emily and Sarah Kunstler’s doc William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe. Don’t miss your chance to catch this on the big screen.

Filmmakers Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler explore the life of their father the late radical civil rights lawyer. In the 1960s and 70s, William Kunstler fought for civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr. and represented the famed “Chicago 8″ activists who protested the Vietnam War. When the inmates took over Attica prison, or when the American Indian Movement stood up to the federal government at Wounded Knee, they asked Kunstler to be their lawyer.

“A magnificent profile of an irrepressible personality.”
