Bill Moyers looks back on the conversations he’s had with men and women who are thinking, talking and writing about what’s going on in America. People are hungry to talk about our common destiny, but there’s not much opportunity to connect. Meanwhile, people see the major institutions of government growing larger and larger as the system itself grows more and more remote from their daily lives. Award(s) won: George Foster Peabody Award for the series A WORLD OF IDEAS with Bill Moyers aired in 1988 and 1990. The half-hour episodes featured scientists, writers, artists, philosophers, historians -- some well-known, many never before seen on television.
