George Carlin's American Dream

From Emmy®-winning directors Judd Apatow (HBO's The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling) and Michael Bonfiglio (HBO's May It Last: A Portrait of the Avett Brothers) comes a two-part documentary chronicling the life and work of legendary comedian George Carlin. Dubbed the "dean of counterculture comedians," Carlin evolved with the times for half a century, remaining sharply resonant even beyond his death in 2008. Featuring a treasure trove of never-before- seen archival material alongside interviews with his family and fellow comedians such as Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Bette Midler, W. Kamau Bell, Sam Jay, Jon Stewart, and more, George Carlin's American Dream examines a cultural chameleon who is remembered as one of the most influential stand-up comics of all time.
