One Bright Shining Moment (DVD), First Run Features, Special Interests

When presidential candidate George McGovern took on incumbent Richard Nixon in 1972, no one really expected him to win and he didn't. But in his bold, grassroots, seat-of-the-pants campaign, which energized young and progressive Americans to a degree never before seen, we find the genesis of today's powerful and sophisticated progressive movement. Using a wealth of amazing archival materials, interviews with provocative figures including historian Howard Zinn, and extensive interviews with McGovern himself, this tremendously thought-provoking tribute to one man who could have dramatically and permanently altered America's political landscape.
