MCGOVERN IN PERSON OPENING NIGHT!!!!!

George McGovern's fundamental concerns for the betterment of humanity, and you better believe he believes it can be better, can be boiled down to two playground-simple rules: Nobody gets hit, everybody gets fed. ONE BRIGHT SHINING MOMENT retraces the political campaign of this soft-spoken Senator from rural South Dakota known to most as an ardent opponent of the Vietnam War, but to many as the little train that shoulda, coulda and woulda. Against all odds, McGovern's Army, a grassroots movement born in living rooms across the country, gave way to the unlikely defeat of his Democratic opponents and to his nomination for President. Memorable footage of the Vietnam era takes us back to the assassination of Martin Luther King and Kent State, when passions ran high in the struggle for Civil Rights and to end the bitter war in Vietnam. A series of thoughtful interviews with an array of insiders (including Gore Vidal, Gloria Steinem, Warren Beatty, and Gary Hart) reflect back on the man who ran on a platform of fairness and compassion, not compassionate conservatism.
