Fargo Film Festival Praise "This is the film I am going to show my grandchildren so they can learn what Paul Wellstone meant to us." --Rick Kahn, Wellstone Action board member "It is delightful. And a brilliant idea to tell his story through the magic bus, the bus driver, the utterly charming children! It is a good example of how to take a subject that at first glance seems rather dull, and invest it with vitality, humor, inspiration, without sacrificing serious ideas." --Howard Zinn, historian
