Featuring never-before-seen historical footage and photographs, "Bridging The Divide: Tom Bradley And The Politics Of Race" examines the creation of Bradley’s extraordinary multi-racial coalition of African Americans, Jews, white liberals, Latinos and Asian Americans, which redefined Los Angeles, transformed the national dialogue on race, and set the foundation for sustainable coalitions that encouraged the elections of minority candidates nationwide, most notably President Barack Obama. At the same time, the film examines the complexities and contradictions of Bradley’s career as a bridge builder.
