Ralph Bakshi's Kickstarter-funded documentary on Coney Island in the 1960s

A reader writes, "Revolutionary animation director Ralph Bakshi just started a Kickstarter for shorts about Coney Island in the 60s. Looks like it'll have some pretty heavy themes. Might be worth looking into! Looks like an important reflection of American cultural revolutions."

In my films I have always discussed America: who we are, what we are, for better and worse, and the ridiculous. I'm here on Kickstarter asking for your support for my newest project, Last Days of Coney Island.

It's a series of shorts set against the strange backdrop of Coney Island and all its weird characters: crooked cops, broken hearts, jaded strippers, and singers.

Be sure and check out the rewards — lots of extremely sweet Bakshi one-of-a-kind stuff.
