Traveling Hopefully is a 1982 American short documentary film directed by John G. Avildsen. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short. [1] It focuses on Roger Nash Baldwin, founder of the American Civil Liberties Union. Baldwin tells of how he got interested in civil liberties, and mentions a number of the cases in which the ACLU defended people or entities.
Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote "This is an amiable, well-intentioned documentary, but an extremely superficial one". [2] Also writing in the Times, John J. O'Connor stated that Traveling Hopefully "captures, with warmth, the admirable grittiness of an American original". [3]
