Boston Herald Entertainment Reporter
Sara Lamm’s “Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soapbox†is a breezy documentary on a true American eccentric.
Emil Bronner (1908-1997) was a German-Jewish emigre and self-anointed “doctor†who used his all-purpose liquid soap to spread his philosophy – a verbose plea plastered on every bottle to live the “Moral ABCs†of his “All-One-God-Faith.â€
