Transformation: The Life & Legacy of Werner ErhardReleased on DVD: 5-27-2008Almost forgotten culture icon and founder of the controversial est seminar pulls back the curtain on his life, his ideas and why he left the country.The documentary, “Transformation: The Life & Legacy of Werner Erhard” had its world premiere at the Palm Beach International Film Festival in April 2006.Werner Erhard, pioneer of the multi-billion dollar personal growth industry, breaks a long silence about his ideas, his life and the controversial program est that made him a cultural icon of the 1970’s and 80’s. With exclusive and rare footage, you’ll step inside est seminars, and hear provocative interviews with peers, naysayers, family members, participants and experts. Viewers will be surprised, even shocked, at how Erhard’s course and ideas, thought of by some as strictly a phenomenon of the 70s & 80’s, have permeated the very fabric of society today.Was he a man on a mission to make a difference, or just a man out to make millions? The film debates whether it’s possible to separate the message from the messenger, and takes a glaring look at how the media targets public figures – leaving us with the notion that despite what you might think of him personally, this now almost forgotten cultural leader has left a lasting social legacy of personal transformation.http://www.transformationfilm.com/http://www.wernererhard.com
