Politically active producer Lawrence Bender remembered the pivotal moment when Clinton invited him, his movie "Good Will Hunting" and its cast to Camp David for a screening in early 1998. Star/writers Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were there along with co-star Robin Williams and former Miramax honcho Harvey Weinstein. So were the president, Hillary Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
"I saw everyone there upfront and close and saw how they made a difference in the world, and I thought this is what I wanted to do," reflected Bender, who went on to produce the Oscar-winning Al Gore documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."
