This film offers a glimpse into the life of Steven J. Bernstein, also known as Jesse Bernstein, a prominent and complex figure in Seattle’s literary scene. His intense and unexpectedly original poetry and prose focus on the lives of vulnerable individuals, wanderers, and those struggling with addiction—people marginalized by a society that fails to comprehend them. Bernstein played a crucial role in the iconic Seattle rock movement during the late 1980s and early 1990s, earning him the title of the ‘Godfather of Grunge’ in 1991.
