There was a BBC [ I think ] film about Phil, which has some actual footage of Phil. It is a docu drama called The Chords of Fame. A brilliant performance from Bill Burnett as Phil, interviews with Mike Porco, Dave Van Ronk, Pete Seeger and a host of others notably Jerry Rubin who tried his best to help Phil. It also had interviews with Phils brother and his daughter Meegan who had a premonition of her fathers death. Luckily I taped it at the time of broadcast. Find it if you can, it really is very good. What a tragedy for Phil to feel so bad that he had to end his life. Blessings, Dave
