Friends who make movies - part 1 - MR. Conservative

Ah name dropping -one of the finer social skills one must hone in my home town - Los Angeles. The skilled weave "big" names in and out of conversation while blithely speaking too loudly on a cell phone at Starbucks. I am not one of the skilled. So I blog - and drop names where ever it suits me. My friend Tani Cohen co-produced a documentary called MR. CONSERVATIVE, Goldwater on Goldwater.
I know enough about this film to know all liberals should see it - if only to remember that once we fought the good fight with good people who held other views.
And that conservatives should see it - if only to remember that once, not so long ago, being a conservative meant something other than setting up straw men and insulting widows.
It is at the Los Angeles Film festival this month and HBO will be distributing it.
One particular Goldwater Girl - who is now a Senator from New York - gives some wonderful insight into what Mr. Goldwater meant - and still means.
