The short film about Roger Baldwin talks about his life and his work as the director of the ACLU. The American Civil Liberties Union was something he directed for 30 years from 1920 to 1950. This film is filled with interviews conducted by Gail Sheehy and Norman Lear. It also goes into praise Baldwin's actions by Ira Glasser, Andrew Young, Norman Dorsen, Ted Kennedy, and many more. Most of the praise was given at a 1979 dinner in which Baldwin celebrated his 95th birthday. Baldwin discusses why civil liberties are important, his first wife and several cases that happened because of his work.
