This well presented documentary, directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Barbara Kopple, focuses on The Nation magazine, and website as well, with the magazine being the longest continually running weekly publication in American history, being founded in 1865 and at the time of the filming nearing its 150th anniversary. We get a good inside look at the internal workings of the publication, as we meet its principals,see its writers in the field developing their stories, and learn about its coveted internship program, from which its current editor and publisher Kristina vanden Heuvel emerged.
