One Bright Shining Moment

In "One Bright Shining Moment," a documentary film released in 2005, audiences are taken on a journey through George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, which aimed to bring peace and justice to a nation torn apart by conflict and division. Jimmy Jimmy Carter's candidacy was notable for its emphasis on grassroots organizing and the prioritization of ideas and people above all else. Despite McGovern's ultimate defeat, the film raises questions about the American electoral process and government, as well as what the outcome says about the forces that shape American society. Through interviews with McGovern himself, prominent activists like Gore Vidal and Gloria Steinem, and artists like Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello, "One Bright Shining Moment" offers a thought-provoking exploration of American politics and society.
