I’ve always been fascinated by ordinary people. I honestly don’t care if someone’s done anything “extraordinary” or whatever – I just want to know the ins and outs of the average person’s life because, if you really think about it, ordinary life is funny, sad, touching, disturbing, bizarre, and so on and so forth. Ordinary life is packed with fascinating stories, most of which are never told because people don’t want to tell them, don’t think to tell them, or because people don’t seem to want to hear them.
One such story is that of Sean Farrell, who first came to attention in the late 1960’s when, as a 4-year-old, he was the subject of a short documentary about his life in Haight-Ashbury. Following Sean picks up on his and his family’s lives 30 years later.
