Befriending Presidents and Playboy Bunnies; Pro Athlete and Famous Writer. He was George Plimpton. George Plimpton led a life everyone dreams of - hanging out with the rich and famous, founding an influential magazine, and playing for the Detroit Lions (if only for one infamous play). Plimpton! captures George's strange and colorful journey in all its glory. We find George with the Kennedys in the best of times and as an eye witness to history at the worst. We are there when George plays with pro sports teams and with the NY Philharmonic, and as he trades barbs with beautiful models, famous actors, and renowned authors. And throughout, we hear the words of Plimpton himself, as he narrates the wild ride that is the extraordinary and fascinating life of Plimpton! - Sandy Wolf Preceded by the short films: Community Knowledge Worker Initiative, Eco-Fuel Africa, and Rice Submergence Tolerance.
