Description

In the 45 years since the original publication of the groundbreaking MAUS — a graphic novel about the Holocaust that changed not only the conversation around the Jewish diaspora in the US but also redefined the possibilities of the medium — Art Spiegelman’s work has only become more relevant. This insightful documentary chronicles the life of the trailblazing artist as he recalls how his painful family history shaped his craft while making a vital parallel to the global politics of today, touching upon issues of authoritarianism, creative rebellion, and censorship. A treat for Spielgeman fans old and new. Rafa Sales Ross
