In the 1950s, he ran a decency campaign to clothe naked animals. In the 1970s, he claimed to run a school for panhandlers. His 1976 film The Faking of the President inspired a riot. In 2000, he began a campaign to ban all breastfeeding. This loving documentary by Abel's daughter shows the master of the hoax as he really is—amused, amusing, and sometimes wonderfully cantankerous.
