    As USA continues to embroil itself in foreign wars and once again pins its hopes on a new leader's promise for change, the feature length documentary, Phil Ochs: There But For Fortune is a timely tribute to an unlikely American hero. Phil Ochs, a folk singing legend, who many called "the emotional heart of his generation," loved his country and he pursued its honor, in song and action, with a ferocity that had no regard for consequences. Wielding only a battered guitar, a clear voice and a quiver of razor sharp songs, he tirelessly fought the "good fight" for peace and justice throughout his short life.
