The short documentary Dukakis: Recipe for Democracy catches up with Massachusetts’ longest-serving governor three decades after he ran for the presidency. Still an entrenched public servant at age 85, Michael Dukakis mentors budding leaders as a college professor. He also chairs a commission to connect Boston’s North and South rail stations – a project he has backed since the 1970s. Meanwhile, a crop of new public servants, including another son of immigrants, Juan Gallego, carries Dukakis’ legacy forward.
