DEAR MR. BRODY

Filmmaker Keith Maitland reveals the story of Michael Brody Jr., a 21-year-old millionaire who in 1970 promised to give away his inheritance in the name of peace, but whose efforts ultimately fell flat.

SYNOPSIS

When 21-year-old hippie-millionaire Michael Brody Jr. decided to give away his fortune to anyone in need, he ignited a psychedelic spiral of events. An instant celebrity, Brody was mobbed by the public, scrutinised by the press, and overwhelmed by the crush of personal letters responding to his extraordinary offer. Fifty years later, an enormous cache of these letters are discovered — unopened.
