Academy Award nominated documentary about ROGER BALDWIN, the founder of the ACLU. We learn how this extraordinary man forced the Federal Government to grant Freedom of Speech to all, regradless of how repellant their views may be.

Sen Edward Kennedy, Former AG Ramsey Clark, Norman Lear and Gail Sheehy are some of his fans whom we meet. Academy Award winning composer Bill Conti supplies the score. The documentary is in 3 parts.
