Newton Minow: An American Story
A film about a man whose principled engagement in public life elevates the common good and advances the American ideals of liberty and justice for all. A son of immigrants, Newton Minow’s journey traverses two centuries as he plays a pivotal role in events from World War II to the Cuban Missile Crisis to the Civil Rights struggles; from the advent of television to the cyber-connected current day—all the while collaborating across political, cultural and ideological lines—with the most recognized and unrecognized people of our time. Newton Minow has provided wise counsel and sound decision-making at critical junctures in American history. He continues to offer a prophetic vision of American possibility.
