Daniel Patrick Moynihan strides through the 20th century as a force of nature, an intellectual titan whose life maps onto the American century itself. The documentary traces his extraordinary arc from a hardscrabble Irish-American childhood to the halls of Harvard, the United Nations, and the U.S. Senate. It captures a man who served presidents of both parties, authored seminal—and controversial—policy, and never ceased to be a provocative, independent thinker, using memos, books, and sheer wit as his tools of statecraft.
