Second screening of “The Hate Man” doc

Artists' Television Access 992 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA, United States

This moving portrait of a Berkeley street philosopher explores the Hate Man’s enigmatic life, including why, thirty years ago, he chose to quit his job as a successful New York Times journalist, drop out of mainstream society and live in the streets. Challenging conventional notions of success, conformity, progress and morality, 'Hate' lucidly discusses and defends his own 'downward mobility' and personal theories of human communication among countless other issues.
