In 1982, a young filmmaker wrote a letter to his literary idol, proposing a documentary on the author’s life and work. Kurt Vonnegut soon met with Robert Weide and authorized the production. Weide thought it would take a few months to raise the needed financing, and figured a film could be completed within the year… Nearly 40 years later, IFC Films will be releasing the documentary, Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time in theaters and on video-on-demand in North America on November 19, 2021.
