- Summary:
- Theodor Adorno was an influential member of the Frankfurt School of social theory--a German-born intellectual who fled Nazi Germany for America, and whose work anticipated and informed much of post-modern theory. In this revolutionary 'participatory documentary,' digital filmmmaker Georg Boch, one of more than 200 people who belong to a Facebook group called, "Adorno Change My Life," sets out to learn how Adorno's work has touched the members' lives. For the film, Boch solicits videos and Skype converstions. Unlike the traditional documentary, this approach allows each of the participants to frame how they want to be perceived and to direct their own conversations.
