Summary An irreverent and insightful look at the 1976 Democratic National Convention in New York City, produced by an ad hoc group of documentarians from around the country.

Special features include a deleted scene called "Alternatives," documenting the countercultural craziness on the streets of New York as David Peel, Marshall Efron, and Wavy Gravy perform satirical songs and advocate "Nobody for President."
