Outrider

The first feature-length portrait of Grammy-nominated epic poet, performer and activist Anne Waldman, produced by Martin Scorsese. Guided by poetic affinities with the Beat Generation, she has spent decades creating close-knit communities of like-minded individuals – from downtown New York to Mexico City to Morocco. Entirely devoted to the practical promotion of artistic imagination, she has gathered luminaries such as Patti Smith, Meredith Monk, Bob Dylan and Laurie Anderson to her side. This creative and social drive is what sets Waldman apart – and OUTRIDER succeeds in introducing her to us as a visionary wordsmith and transcendent presence who channels the thunderous power of poetry through centuries-old bardic tradition.
