James Broughton (1913-1999) was an icon of San Francisco counterculture and the Bay Area’s Beat scene. A poet, filmmaker, and prankster, Broughton was one of the original Radical Faeries and a member of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. His gravestone reads: “Adventure – not predicament.” I can’t wait to see this new film about Broughton, titled Big Joy, that’s currently on the film festival circuit! “Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton“
