On each bottle of his soap, he printed an ever-evolving set of teachings he called “The Moral ABC,” designed, in his words, “TO UNITE ALL MANKIND FREE!”

A human story about a socially responsible company, “Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soapbox” documents the complicated family legacy behind the counterculture’s favorite cleaning product — Bronner’s son, 68-year-old Ralph, endured over 15 orphanages and foster homes as a child, but despite difficult memories, is his father’s most ardent fan…

This is an amazing story of a very interesting man. If you've ever wondered what all that writing on the side of Dr. Bronner's soap was about you have to see this film. And even if you have never tried the soap I would recommend this film just because this man, Dr. Bronner is so darn interesting. His son Ralph who is now the public spokes person is also a hoot. After hearing about how they run their company it will also inspire you.
