Synopsis
- Pigweed Philosopher Documentary
- Kimball Johnson is a non-conformist with a heart—and someone willing to lose everything to tilt at windmills. In the style of esteemed documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles, director Gabriel Lakey spent five years following this true American original. Some would call Kimball Johnson crazy, some would call him foolish, and others might call him enlightened, but pursuing one's passions headlong without a harness can bear a heavy price. Would you be willing to lose everything you owned for the feeling of having tried and lost? Is this pigweed philosopher an unconventional genius who figured out that life is best lived at the outer fringes or is he just the quintessential Don Quixote of broken dreams who never found his way home?

How could we go about seeing the entire film? My Uncle Robert was one of the characters that tells Kimball to sale the movie, in turn Kimball remarks; "How can I sell it is not finished yet", and they laugh hysterically. I know Kimball, Robert, Bishop, Store owner, and Kimball's daughter Crystal. I live is Salt Lake City but missed being in Utah during the festival.
Thank you and you can e-mail me at ivgotasecret@msn.com with any helpful tips as to see the full movie.
