“Sex Radical,” a new documentary-drama from U-M professor emeritus Andy Kirshner, will premiere Oct. 30 at the Michigan Theater. The film resurrects the story of Ida Craddock, a late-Victorian feminist and sex educator who defied censorship laws at great personal cost.
For Kirshner, a composer, filmmaker and longtime teacher at U-M, “Sex Radical” is not only his latest creative endeavor but also a timely exploration of free expression, women’s rights, and the cyclical nature of America’s “culture wars.”
