Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Director Ebs Burnough’s documentary immerses viewers into the larger-than-life personality of American author and legendary socialite Truman Capote. Its main focus is the years between the 1966 publication of “In Cold Blood” and the public’s first glimpse of his long-awaited magnum opus "Answered Prayers" in 1975. By using archival footage, on-camera interviews, and animation, it explores how Capote’s extra-literary antics ultimately overshadowed his art. ~ Augustine Chay, Rovi

Answered Prayers was meant to be Truman Capote's greatest masterpiece, an epic novel of New York City's glittering jet-set society, following his smashing success with Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood. Instead, it sparked his downfall. Through access to never-before-heard audio archives and interviews with Capote's friends and enemies, including Dick Cavett, Lauren Bacall, Norman Mailer and André Leon Talley, this documentary reveals the rise and fall of America's most iconic gay writer.
