From Archie Bunker to George Jefferson, Norman Lear created television's most iconic characters of the 1970s; yet none are more memorable than Lear himself. Now in his nineties, Lear candidly reflects on his life growing up as a poor Jewish kid, his career creating provocative sitcom hits, and his later years as an activist for social equality – using laughter every step of the way. Featuring interviews with George Clooney, Amy Poehler, Rob Reiner, and others, this film tells the entertaining, nostalgic, and insightful story of one of America's most influential figures.
