Splendor and Wisdom Part 5

Part 5 of Splendor and Wisdom

Historians agree 1968 was a watershed year and so it was particularly fitting that the Yale Class of '68 invited William Sloane Coffin Jr. to their 35th reunion to give what would be his final speech. No one shared more in the actions and passions of his era then William Sloane Coffin Jr., a hero for civil rights, peace and activism.

IIn this intimate portrait, director Lloyd Kaufman, (Yale Class of '68, director of The Toxic Avenger, Poultrygeist) takes us into the mind of William Sloane Coffin Jr., a legendary clergyman who recieved international acclaim for his antiwar speeches and messages of international peace. This rare and vital documentary intercuts fascinating footage of the Class of '68 with President George W. Bush (Yale '68) at the White House as well as profound and moving comments and reminiscences by prominent members of the Yale class of '68.
