This is an oral history based on filmmaker David L. Lewis' full-length documentary profile of the jazz critic and civil libertarian Nat Hentoff. The narrative, from extensive interviews with Hentoff and many of his allies and rivals - who were often one and the same, depending on the issue and the day - traces a unique career in American journalism and activism. Hentoff is credited for inventing modern jazz criticism, and for being one of the most ardent - and strident - voices in the country in favor of free speech and the free press, no matter what the cost personally or professionally.
