At a time when DFA is re-framing progressive issues for the electorate and the media, this inspiring portrait of the man who "saw wrong and tried to right it ... saw suffering and tried to heal it ... saw war and tried to stop it ..." can remind us of the powerful words of Robert F. Kennedy that captured the imagination of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party in the late 1960s. This important play is certain to have a national impact and should be seen by everyone in the US.
