Abe Osheroff

For most of Abe Osheroff's 92 years, he was an activist. Whether he was on the front lines of the Spanish Civil War, walking the picket lines of the U.S. labor movement, marching for civil rights in Mississippi, or working for human rights in Nicaragua, Osheroff threw himself into the political arena with rare energy and enthusiasm. In this affecting film, Osheroff reflects on the meaning of activism, the reasons he took political action, and his lifetime commitment to "radical humanism." Osheroff's wisdom resonates with special force today, as new waves of social protest sweep the globe.
