Plot synopsis

Edited versions of the last two readings were released on DVD as There's Gonna Be a God Damn Riot in Here and The Last Straw. A decision was made by the producers of the films to release unedited versions of the readings, together with substantial extras, which includes performances of Bukowski poems staged by Joannne Gordon[3][4] and interviews with people who knew and worked with the author.
