Dear Mr. Brody

Keith Maitland, winner of many awards for the Tower, also shown at the American Film Festival, this time tells the story of Saint Nicholas of Wayward Adults: the young millionaire Michael Brody, Jr., who in the 1970s announced overnight that he would be willing to give away his fortune to strangers – you just had to ask. It didn't take long for thousands of letters addressed to "Dear Mr. Brody" pour in from all over. They were stories full of pain and desperation and family photos that no one had ever read – until now. Talking to their authors, ready to share the most intimate details of their lives with a man they know only from the front pages of newspapers, Maitland tells a tale of disappointment, a struggle for a better tomorrow and dreams. And about a twenty-year-old man who possibly really wanted to fix the world. Or, maybe he just wanted to smoke a joint with Walter Cronkite.
