"In our time all it takes for evil to flourish is for a few good men to be a little
wrong and have a great deal of power, and for the vast majority of their
fellow citizens to remain indifferent." -William Sloane Coffin Jr.

Historians agree 1968 was a watershed year and so it was particularly fitting that the Yale Class of 68 invited William Sloane Coffin Jr. to their 35th reunion to give what would be his final speech. No one shared more in the actions and passions of his era then William Sloane Coffin Jr., a hero for civil rights, peace and activism.

In this intimate portrait, director Lloyd Kaufman, (Yale Class of 68, director of
The Toxic Avenger, Poultrygeist) takes us into the mind of William Sloane Coffin Jr., a legendary clergyman who received international acclaim for his antiwar speeches and messages of international peace. This rare and vital documentary intercuts fascinating footage of the Class of 68 with President George W. Bush (Yale 68) at the White House as well as profound and moving comments and
reminiscences by prominent members of the Yale class of 68 .

Splendor and Wisdom has been called "...a powerful and compelling film that
captures Bill Coffin's genius and humanity for posterity" by Mr. Richard
C. Levin, president of Yale University and offers a glimpse into a truly gifted mind.
