Summary:

In 1980, John Anderson ran what experts initially considered a quixotic race for the Republican presidential nomination before switching to run as an independent. He ran a unique campaign and won unprecedented support before it eventually fell apart. No Holding Back tells the story of this riveting American political melodrama.
