This excellent documentary details the singer-songwriter's triumphs and then long descent to suicide. The short and tragic life of Phil Ochs is as involving as the music he wrote and played, and that is saying a great deal.
If you remember the 1960s, you more than likely remember the singer-songwriter who composed hundreds of songs, many of them, as can be heard on the strong and forceful documentary "Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune," beautiful and melodic as well as pointedly political.
