AMERICAN ANARCHIST

80 min

NYC PREMIERE At age 19, William Powell wrote one of the most infamous books ever published: The Anarchist Cookbook. Part manifesto and part bomb-making manual, it went on to sell over two million copies. Since then, the Cookbook has been associated with decades of violent anti-government attacks, abortion clinic bombings, school shootings and homegrown domestic terrorism. Director Charlie Siskel (Finding Vivian Maier) conducts a probing interview with Powell, now 65, over the book’s troubling legacy.
