"A documentary profile of a man engaged in a life and death struggle with his genius and his obsessions, Al Neil, the musician, poet, sculptor and shaman. While the narrative thread centres around pathos, the film represents the many personas of Al Neil, the private, intoxicated poetic man, the public performer and musician and the family outcast."
