Synopsis:
Milagro Man explores the colorful literary career, screenwriting escapades and social activism of John Treadwell Nichols, renowned author of the New Mexico trilogy (The Milagro Beanfield War, The Magic Journey, and Nirvana Blues), prolific scriptwriter (working with such film directors as Robert Redford, Alan Pakula, Constantinos Costa-Gavras, and Ridley Scott), and author of half a dozen ecological nonfiction books, including On the Mesa, A Fragile Beauty, and The Last Beautiful Days of Autumn. This hour-length documentary, spun around the hub of extensive interviews, offers audiences intimate glimpses into the creative process as exemplified in a gifted, passionate and unrepentant radical American writer. The film spans his youth as the rebellious WASP descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence through his early success with The Sterile Cuckoo as both novel and screenplay to his relocation from Manhattan to Taos, New Mexico in the late sixties with his subsequent outpourings of novels, screenplays and non-fiction tomes. This former hockey jock is firmly established in national consciousness as a regional writer with universal reach who succeeds at the delicate trick of blending art with a social and ecological vision. Nichols is an engaging figure who cares about art for humanity as well as for its own sake. His novels, aside from the trilogy, include The Wizard of Loneliness, A Ghost in the Music, American Blood, An Elegy for September, Conjugal Bliss, The Voice of the Butterfly, and The Empanada Brotherhood. He is former editor of the New Mexico Review and has taught at the University of New Mexico.
