This is a brilliant documentary about Saul David Alinsky who is generally considered "the father of community organizing." It documents his assistance to the mid-1960s FIGHT organization in Rochester, New York. "Together they took on the Eastman-Kodak company over racist hiring practices and won a series of impressive victories."

Alinsky was a ferocious critic of a passive and ineffective mainstream liberalism. In his book Rules for Radicals, "he argued that the most effective means are whatever will achieve the desired ends, and that an intermediate end for radicals should be democracy because of its relative ease to work within to achieve other ends of social justice."
