Tagline: The World Changes Some People. Some People Change The World.

Plot: Set in the Victorian era, "Beautiful Dreamers" tells the story of a Canadian doctor who despairs over the inhumane treatment of clinically "insane" patients at the asylum in London, Ontario. Soon his newfound friendship with the free-thinking American poet Walt Whitman, who himself has a "mentally incompetent" brother, leads him to discover a drastically different method of caring for, and communicating with, these very special patients. The poet's visit also stirs up the staid and orderly society of Victorian Ontario, as Whitman shocks the conservative townfolk with his radical views on a variety of other, everyday subjects.
