'Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist, Rebel' opens in New York

If you miss seeing the documentary, "Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist & Rebel," in New York and Los Angeles theaters (it opens on July 30), you'll be missing an extraordinary historical and cultural lesson. Lucky for you, the doc will open wider across the country in August. 
Using rare footage and compelling interviews with a remarkable who's who of 20th Century American pop culture, you will get to see an in depth and fascinating look at the personal and professional life of an extraordinary man and the controversies that enveloped him throughout the past few decades.

Appearing in the doc: Joan Baez, Tony Bennett, Pat Boone, James Caan, Tony Curtis, George Lucas, Ruth Westheimer, Pete Seeger, Bill Maher, Mike Wallace and Dick Cavett.

To put it mildly, the doc is way more than just T&A , Bunnies and centerfolds.

Although there's some of that too.
