MoveOn.org is a grassroots, liberal organization that started with a simple petition during the Clinton impeachment that said he should be censured, and that Congress should move on. This simple petition was signed by an overwhelming number of people and the movement was born. Since then they've worked on issues ranging from voter turnout to withdrawal from Iraq. They were huge supporters of John Kerry in the 2004 election, did a lot of charity work for Katrina victims in 2005, and were instrumental in drumming up both support and cash for Obama's successful presidential run in 2008. MoveOn: The Movie follows the MoveOn movement for six years and combines on-site footage with interviews up and down the MoveOn hierarchy in addition to news footage and commentary by those outside the organization including supports (like Al Gore) and detractors (like a representative of StopMoveOn). The film follows a roughly chronological order from the movements inception in 1998 all the way through the 2008 election.
