Plot.
In the work of Jack Garfein - Holocaust survivor, theater and film director, key figure in the formation of the Actors Studio - past and and present freely intermingled to contribute to memorable stage productions and in two films, many which were ahead of their time in tackling such issues as homosexuality, race and violence. Powered by his vivid recollections and augmented with readings by Willem Dafoe, The Wild One traces Garfein’s life: his Czechoslovakian youth, his family’s fleeing the Nazis, surviving in Auschwitz and other camps, his 1946 arrival at 16 in New York and coming under the wing of Lee Strasberg, Hollywood, his marriage to actress Carroll Baker.

Wiki.
The Wild One is a feature documentary on the Holocaust survivor and director Jack Garfein, directed by Tessa Louise-Salomé, and written by Louise-Salomé and Sarah Contou-Terquem.
In 2022, the movie has won the best cinematography award in a documentary feature at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Narrated by Willem Dafoe, the Documentary features interviews with Jack Garfein, Irène Jacob, Peter Bogdanovich, Foster Hirsch and several other artists. Its structure mixes between the narration of Garfein’s youth in the concentration camps and his later career in the 50s Hollywood where he became a key Actors Studio figure and director of two films, The Strange One (1957) and Something Wild (1961), before disappearing from the public eye.
