Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soapbox (U.S. Television Premiere)
Premieres Tuesday, July 3, at 9:30 PM
Directed by Sara Lamm. A complex, strange and moving family story lies behind the exhortations and exclamations printed on every bottle of Dr. Bronner’s all-natural liquid soap, a staple of health-food stores since the 1960s. An eighth-generation master soapmaker and the black sheep of his Jewish-German clan, Emanuel Bronner emigrated to the U.S. in 1929. Lamm charts the often troubled path that led the eccentric émigré to express his utopian religious beliefs via a peppermint infused cleanser. The film also goes inside the progressive and very successful company run by Bronner’s heirs, including his oldest son, Ralph, a friendly soul who travels the country telling stories of his dad, hugging strangers and giving away soap.
