Get to know the writer who brought a subversive edge to Hollywood in the 1960s. Nile Southern explores the career of his father, Terry Southern, who lent a provocative charge to films like EASY RIDER and BARBARELLA, recounting how he got his big break by collaborating on DR. STRANGELOVE with Stanley Kubrick. An iconoclast who disdained grandiosity and got a kick out of upsetting the status quo, Southern was one of the movies’ great satirists.
