Synopsis

George McGovern's bold and grassroots presidential campaign of 1972 may have been the ultimate political defeat of the American Century, but also was perhaps its high watermark. Using a wealth of archival materials, interviews with prominent progressives like Gore Vidal, Gloria Steinem, Warren Beatty, Howard Zinn and features music from Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson, Donovan, and Elvis Costello.
