A beloved figure of American culture, Charles Grodin emerged as a star in the late ’60s and early ’70s. Thanks to his effortlessly brilliant work in films like The Heartbreak Kid, The Great Muppet Caper, Midnight Run, Beethoven, and Dave, he would remain a mainstay of comedy for generations of viewers. But Grodin’s off-screen accomplishments were even more dramatic: he was a social activist who devoted decades of his life to fighting for wrongly imprisoned people and reforming drug laws. Featuring interviews with collaborators, including Carol Burnett, Ellen Burstyn, Robert De Niro, Richard Kind, Marc Maron, Steve Martin, Elaine May, and Martin Short, as well as women for whom Mr. Grodin was instrumental in releasing from prison, this eye-opening documentary sheds light on Grodin’s career and life.
