About Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin
The extraordinary life story of science fiction and fantasy writer Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) who, in spite of remaining for many years on the sidelines of the mainstream literature, managed to be recognized as one of the most remarkable US writers of all time, due to the relevance of her work and her commitment to the human condition.
Directed by Arwen Curry, Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin leans on a strong ensemble — Ursula K. Le Guin, Jean T. Kroeber, Julie Phillips — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2018.
