Centered – Joe Lieberman

Joe Lieberman, who nearly became the first Jewish Vice President of the United States, was known for putting principles above party. Centered chronicles Lieberman’s extraordinary journey and 40+ years of public service, revealing the depth of his commitment to the American people. This timely film serves as a reminder of the values of unity and bipartisanship. Lieberman’s legacy as a principled statesman who placed country above party echoes throughout the film, which provides a timely call for civility, moderation, and dialogue. Following Lieberman’s untimely passing in March 2024, his message of moderation and bipartisanship resonates even more powerfully, underscoring the importance of unity and collaboration in today’s political landscape.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: The era of bipartisan politics as exemplified by Lieberman’s public service seems today as if it was from another era, yet it wasn’t that long ago. The movie chronicles Joe’s run for vice-president along with the rest of his long and distinguished political career. We are honored to have Lieberman’s Senate Chief of Staff, Clarine Nardi Riddle, travelling to the festival to help present the movie and answer questions.
