New York Premiere!
Director Antonin Svoboda in person for Q&A!
Psychiatrist, scientist and the inventor of the orgone box, Wilhelm Reich fled to the U.S. from Nazi Germany in 1939. He continued his forays in experimental sciences in Maine and the Arizona desert. A true believer in this theory of a life-force energy called orgone, he devoted his life to research with the ultimate goal of bettering humanity.

This stirring and handsomely made biopic stars the incomparable Klaus Maria Brandauer as Reich.
