Storyline
In his first public interview in more than a decade, pop culture icon of the 1970s and 80s, Werner Erhard breaks his long silence about his ideas, his life and his controversial program "est"that became "the thing" to do among celebrities and middle America and fueled today's multi-billion dollar personal growth industry. With exclusive and rare footage, you'll step inside controversial est seminars, hear provocative interviews with participants, family members, and experts. Viewers will be very surprised to learn how Erhard's transformational ideas are still in the mainstream today-in our language, advertising campaigns and in personal growth seminars yet few people know its origin. Written by Robyn Symon

For once, an updated account that is not a mish mash of the same old recycled muck and rumors that have been repeated over the last 30 years because they sold media and fulfilled certain people's and groups agendas no matter how untrue they were.
The up close interviews of Werner Erhard (then and now)show a person who really just enjoys what he does (working on the subject of human potential and effectiveness and "making a difference" for others) and who visibly cares about all people.
Is "Transformation: The Life and Legacy of Werner Erhard" a great documentary? I don't think so. Is it a balanced and welcomed display about a decent hard working guy who was (is) committed to making a difference for others? Heck yes.
