Seed
Movie · Drama · Documentary

This cinematic tour-de-force from IFC Films attempts to capture one man's quest for spiritual direction, as he finds beauty, bravery and humanity in the diverse people of the United States. An audience favorite at the 2000 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival, this existential indie follows John Seed (John Michael Bolger) after he’s contracted an unspecified terminal illness. Emotionally shattered, Seed travels across America searching for answers to questions about love, life, death and human nature. As he shares unscripted exchanges with an eclectic array of real people - from housewives to religious leaders, jazz musicians to alcoholic street people and sex workers – the film explores the sociological landscape of America.
