Movie
See how one of the architects of the modern conservative movement rose to prominence as a public intellectual and influenced generations of politicians—including Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater. As founder of the National Review and host of the public affairs program Firing Line for over 30 years, Buckley created new spaces for civic discourse that were accessible to the public.
