Thanks very much for this. I’d long hoped that something like this doc might exist and come to light. As was well covered on his page at IMDB, PKD’s wider recognition in the world, beyond the SF reader’s audience, began mostly at the very end of his life and primarily after he had passed and was no longer present to reap the benefits. That impact and recognition would in due course grow exponentially. There was a 2017 10 episode anthology series, “Electric Dreams”, derived from his prolific array of short stories, with I thought 3 of those 10 episodes turning out very well. A shame that series only lasted for 1 season, with so much more PKD material left to mine. Much more successful was the 4 season series adaptation of his award-winning novel “The Man in the High Castle.” It smoothed out, streamlined, and clarified some reveries that were vague or open to interpretation in the novel. I believe both series were on Amazon Prime Video.
