Patti Smith: Electric Poet
Patti Smith arrives in New York at the age of 20 and disrupts the conventions of rock, poetry, and genre. Without ever entering the field of play, she has become a living legend. An actress, poet, and musician. Also militant. A thousand-year-old artist who has led a thousand lives. The documentary chronicles the life of Patti Smith. Before childhood, the artist who says: "I desired to be extraordinary. I felt detached. I felt distant from not only other children, but the entire universe. I spent my youth believing I was an alien." Patti's mother, a Jehovah's Witness, provided her with a religious education as she grew up in rural New Jersey. But Patti Smith departs the movement because it does not align with her creative preferences.
