Phil Ochs - There But For Fortune.

Those few of you who follow this site know that I have been a life long admirer of Phil Ochs. For the last 7 months I have been trying, with his friends and associates, to get a tribute biodoc about him shown in this country by a TV network, without success. Although it is available as a Region 1 (USA) DVD it has not been released in Region 2 (European and Asian) format.  However, although it is not possible yet to view it here on You Tube, if you follow the link below and press the photograph of Joan Baez headed "PBS American Masters Videos" you should be able to watch it. It lasts for about 83 minutes and as well as being of interest to the many Och's fans it is also fascinating to view the historical context of much of the film.
