The Man Will Burn

About The Man Will Burn

Since its beginning in 1986, Burning Man has grown from its anarchic counterculture roots in San Francisco to a globally recognized spectacle. Each year, 80,000 self-styled “Burners” congregate in the Nevada desert to create music, art, and connection, raise temples, join a spiritual movement centered on community, and take part in a modern American cultural experiment. Following the organization through several years of unprecedented turmoil, THE MAN WILL BURN follows a movement pushed to its limits as it strives to stay operational while staying true to its core values. HBO Documentary Films presents in association with Double Agent, Noujaim Films, and The Othrs, a series by Jehane Noujaim and Vikram Gandhi: THE MAN WILL BURN. Directed by Jehane Noujaim and Vikram Gandhi; producers, Muriel Soenens, Catie Bolt, Eric Forman, Paul McGuire, and Jillian Li; executive producers, Nina Fialkow, David Fialkow, Nushin Sabet, Farhad Mohit, Kristín Ólafsdóttir, Thor Björgólfsson, Lyn Lear, Jehane Noujaim, Karim Amer, Geralyn Dreyfous, and Vikram Gandhi; executive producers for Double Agent: Dana O’Keefe, Yariv Milchan, Teddy Schwarzman, Michael Heimler, Natalie Lehmann, and Emily Selinger.
