William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe is a documentary film about the late civil rights attorney William Kunstler directed by daughters Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler that premiered at the 25th Sundance Film Festival in January 2009.[1]

William Kunstler was one of the most famous lawyers of the 20th century whose clients included Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X,[1], Phillip and Daniel Berrigan, Abbie Hoffman, H. Rap Brown, Stokely Carmichael, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Filiberto Ojeda Ríos and Leonard Peltier. The New York Times called him "the most hated and most loved lawyer in America".

This film is a co-production of the Independent Television Service (ITVS) and will air on the award-winning PBS series P.O.V. in 2010. The film was an official selection of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. It also received a 2008 grant from the Foundation for Jewish Culture's Lynn and Jules Kroll Fund for Jewish Documentary Film. Arthouse Films will be releasing the film theatrically in North America in 2009.
