Ralph Nader: They were never charged with anything.

Nader: That’s the exact word he used: fascism.
Ocean: I was at a real dark time in my life when I met them.
Nader: It was all downhill after that. We have it all documented.
Ocean: The path to that isn’t an easy way, but it is a rewarding way.

Ocean: It became effortless. You just kind of roll.

Ocean: He was screaming at the end. I haven’t seen him since.
