Through verité character studies on progressive organizers/advocates Marc Morial (National Urban League) and Janet Murguía (UnidosUS), Oscar®-winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple (“Desert One”—CIFF44) sets a spotlight on those fighting against the continued rise of American racism and white supremacy. —M.G.

In an era actively erupting with racial injustice, Marc Morial of the National Urban League and Janet Murguía of UnidosUS unite their efforts to meet hate with love. Morial’s focus on criminal justice reform and Murguía’s advocacy for immigration rights are just the beginning for these passionate leaders. Steeped in their own family legacies of civil rights activism, Morial and Murguía team up to influence key political players, empower marginalized citizens, and inspire the next generation to fight for the American dream for all—while in the wake of a contentious election, a pandemic, and global protests following the death of George Floyd. Directed by two-time Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple, GUMBO COALITION reveals the ongoing work and unrelenting optimism necessary to reunite a deeply divided nation. —A.B.
