American anarchists tell the story of one of the most infamous books of all time, "The Anarchist Recipe," and its role in the life of author William Powell. William Powell wrote this book at the age of 19 during the anti cultural turmoil of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Oscar nominated filmmaker Charlie Sisker (played in "Finding VIVIVIAN MAIER") has approached 65 year old Powell, a teacher, for an intimate and thought-provoking conversation as he re examines the work and its continued impact. American Psychiatrist is a cautionary tale about young people's rebellion and unintended consequences. It tells a global and humanized story about a man who struggles with his past, identity, and the influence of his youth at the end of his life.
