Documentary filmmaker who pioneered filming "encounter" groups. JOURNEY INTO SELF is the first time this had been done. McGaw used similar techniques in:- BECAUSE THAT'S MY WAY (1971) -- Group members are youth and adults, all in one way or another concerned with illegal drugs. Users, agents, straight, hip, white and black are facilitated by C. Rogers and Anthony Rose. We see how one person can feel deep caring for another, even though that other hates the first person and perceives the caring as phony and unreal.
- THE STEEL SHUTTER (1973) -- Encounter among Protestants and Catholics from Northern Ireland. The discussion is about the "Troubles" -- war and violence, political, religious, and social class conflict. Participants argue, feel deeply, and transform themselves.
McGaw was also the writer and associate producer of the 1976 action/adventure feature SKY RIDERS, which starred James Coburn, Susannah York and Robert Culp.
