Philip K. Dick: A Day in the Afterlife

The author of the stories behind 'Blade Runner' and 'Total Recall' grew up in California at a time when an agricultural idyll was fast being replaced by motorways, shopping stores and junk culture. Philip K Dick drew inspiration for his 42 science-fiction novels and countless short stories from the neighbourhood growing up around him and the advertisements on television. This documentary goes on an imaginative tour from the Colorado grave where Dick is buried to the suburbs of California where he lived and worked. Features interviews with his ex-wives, friends and biographers.
