'Joyce Carol Oates: A Body in the Service of Mind' Documentary Trailer

"I always felt that I could tell stories that other people were not telling." Greenwich Ent. has unveiled their official trailer for a documentary film titled Joyce Carol Oates: A Body in the Service of Mind, a comprehensive biopic film about the life of and books by the famed author Joyce Carol Oates. Swedish director Stig Björkman approached JCO with his idea to make a portrait film of her for over 9 years before she finally agreed. The doc film takes us behind the genius of one of the most read contemporary American writers. The now 83-year-old writer’s life story is one of a changing society. With her work as a navigator the movie takes us back to her childhood and university years. We learn about societal events that affected her deeply and are evident in her writing, like the 1960’s riots in Detroit, to the tragic Chappaquiddick incident and the life of Marilyn Monroe. Love her or hate her writing, she is a fascinating and curious individual with plenty to say - about society, love, life, and the experiences of women of all kinds. This doc is worth a watch. // Continue Reading ›
