The film examines the history and impact of the awards, which yearly define excellence in journalism and the arts in 21 categories. It explores the lives of some of the Prize’s most accomplished recipients, such as Carl Bernstein, Robert Caro, Junot Diaz, Wynton Marsalis and Toni Morrison, and brings their work to life with readings by Helen Mirren, Liev Schreiber, John Lithgow and others.
