SYNOPSIS: Jacob M. Appel is a man of many titles. With 10 degrees from various institutions, including Harvard Law School and Columbia Medical School, he is a professor, a doctor, a lawyer, a bioethicist, and a published author of short stories, poems, plays and novels. The only reason you may not have heard of him is because the man is as humble as he is accomplished. Director Jon Stahl relies on interviews from his teachers, friends, and family to create an adept presentation of an unassuming intellectual who is filled to the brim with warmth and eccentricity.
