Jerry Brown: The Disrupter (2022)

Jerry Brown is a man ahead of his time. A natural disrupter, Jerry kickstarted the national debate about climate change and spiraling inequality back in the 1970s. A three-time presidential candidate - who created the blueprint for today's grassroots campaigns - Jerry Brown also achieved the remarkable feat of being elected Governor of California at the very different ages of 36 and 72. For over five decades Brown has proven his willingness to sacrifice everything - even getting elected - for the causes to which he's devoted. In this candid and emotionally compelling portrait, Brown opens up about his remarkable fifty-year political career, his singular private life and the lessons learned from a life in the public eye. Told through archival footage spanning decades, this feature length documentary includes present day interviews with former Governor Jerry Brown, former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Governor Gray Davis, former Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, former Treasurer Kathleen Brown, actor and writer Peter Coyote, journalists Todd Purdum, Miriam Pawel, George Skelton and many others.
