Jerry Brown: The Disrupter

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.
