Blending narration, dramatic readings, evocative period music, expert insights, and photography filmed in key locations, the film vividly brings to life Whitman's distinctive character and his groundbreaking work. The program follows Whitman's journey from a humble childhood in Long Island and Brooklyn to penning Leaves of Grass in 1855, a work that would revolutionize poetry.
