Academy Award®-winner Barbara Kopple (Harlan County, USA; American Dream) turns her incisive lens on The Nation, America's oldest continuously published weekly magazine, and the impassioned team keeping it relevant in its second century. An American institution that debuted in 1865, the magazine has housed the voices of nearly every prominent writer and thinker of each modern moment, including Albert Einstein, Emily Dickinson, Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Luther King Jr., Toni Morrison, Gore Vidal, Barbara Ehrenreich, and many more, remaining the torchbearer for the political left. But what Kopple reveals so engagingly is the collective spirit behind the printed page, embodied by editor-publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel and the crew of writers, editors, staff, and interns who still care so much about the value of journalism. Watch this polished documentary to learn things you may not know about The Nation, but celebrate its true value in exploring the still-beating heart of the American free press.
