Lords of the Revolution (2009), Writer, Consulting Producer
A five-part series produced for VH1 which presented portraits of groups and individuals who shook up and defined the period of the 1960s and early 1970s by standing up for their principles against the establishment, changing pop culture in the process. Narrated by Richard Belzer, the subjects were Andy Warhol, Timothy Leary, Muhammad Ali, the Black Panthers, and Cheech and Chong.
