William S. Burroughs: A Man Within
Filmmaker Yony Leyser's documentary William S. Burroughs: A Man Within (2010) introduces Burroughs (1914-1997) as a leading writer who helped construct the Beat Generation, was an important gay icon, inspired the counterculture of the 1960s, and was the muse and godfather of Punk Rock. According to reviewer Wik Wikholm, the film is an excellent and unflinching introduction to Burrough's hard-to-like personality, his importance as a writer and artist, and his influence on American cultural history.
