Watch Call Us Ishmael

CALL US ISHMEAL is the story of a book and the people who love it. Each and every year hundreds of people flock to New Bedford, MA in bleak mid-winter to partake in a celebration like none other. They read this single book out loud over the course of two full days without stopping. All of these people have one thing in common: they are obsessed with "Moby- Dick", the book that most call the Great American Novel. CALL US ISHMEAL gives us an insight into a community devoted to this timeless text.

Call Us Ishmael is a 2019 documentary with a runtime of 1 hour and 18 minutes.
