One Bright Shining Moment
Stephen Vittoria | USA | 2005 | 123 minutes
 | Essential viewing. A bittersweet, tremendously thought-provoking tribute to the one man who could have dramatically and permanently altered America's political landscape for the better. His was indeed One Bright Shining Moment, and this is One Bright Shining Documentary. --CBS Radio
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, he energized young and progressive Americans to a degree never before seen, and began the genesis of today's powerful and sophisticated progressive movement. ONE BRIGHT SHINING MOMENT retraces George McGovern's campaign of 1972 and offers a portrait of one of the most honest men in political history. {Winner, Best Documentary Feature, 2005 Sarasota Film Festival}
