In the 1980s, L.A.'s trailblazing TV station, the 'Z Channel', gave neglected indie, classic and arthouse movies, unseen director's cuts and uniquely themed on-air festivals an unprecedented platform for an obsessive audience ravenous for cinema.

Xan Cassavetes' compelling and poignant documentary celebrates the historic influence of 'Z' and chronicles the brilliant but troubled life of Jerry Harvey, the visionary programmer behind 'Z' and friend and champion to now legendary filmmakers and works. Harvey's determined, diverse and encyclopedic knowledge of film meant that 'Z' was a channel impossible to replicate today and its tumultuous existence became indistinguishable from his tormented emotional spiral.
