...Barry Commoner president. Some representatives of grassroots groups opposed plans to nominate Commoner. For them, the flaw in the anointment is the lack of time for organizing across the country. Others complain the party was unilaterally set up by a few wealthy liberals who are taking a "top-down" approach in general. But co-chair Harriet Barlow says the "organizing of the party is entirely open." The party will nominate the presidential candidate at a convention next March.

A viewer may approach Promises in the Dark with some wariness, therefore, because the subject of the film is a 17-year-old girl's death after a long battle with cancer.
