About This Movie
Boiled Angels: The Trial of Mike Diana is a wild ride into the world of underground art and legal absurdity. Set in the sweltering heat of 1994 Florida, it's the story of Mike Diana, an artist whose zine, Boiled Angel, lands him in court over an obscenity charge. The pacing here is an intriguing mix of tension and absurdity, capturing the bizarre nature of censorship in America. The film dives deep into themes of freedom of expression and the chilling effect of authoritative pushback on creativity. The atmosphere is gritty, almost palpable, with some offbeat interviews and archival footage that really drive home the strangeness of the entire ordeal. Definitely a distinctive piece reflecting a unique moment in First Amendment history.
