The 78-year-old legend and New York treasure Bob Fass, “the father of free-form radio,” has been the host of Radio Unnameable on New York’s WBAI for almost 50 years. Directors Lovelace and Wolfson (Iowa Mixtape, BAMcinemaFest 2010) make incredible use of Fass’ personal archives—a priceless trove of first-person political reportage, early interviews with 60s icons Bob Dylan and Abbie Hoffman, and other far-out ephemera—to craft this unforgettable documentary.
