Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie

Overview

Before O'Reilly and Beck made headlines, Morton Downey Jr. revolutionized the talk-show scene with his provocative style and controversial views. His show, characterized by brawls, an unruly audience, and clouds of cigarette smoke, was marketed as "3-D television" and "rock and roll without the music." Évocateur explores the chaos of the late '80s and the impact of its most infamous provocateur, detailing how Downey's brash approach encapsulated a turbulent era in media and society.
