Description:
Featuring an incredible lineup of musical guests including Jackson Browne, Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Sarah Lee Guthrie, alongside a thousand longshore workers, this film explores the life of Harry Bridges. An immigrant who admired Karl Marx and Jack London, Bridges spent 21 years fighting for his American citizenship while also championing the American labor movement. He shared friendships with figures like Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, and Paul Robeson, earning him both admiration and fierce opposition. Ian Ruskin guides audiences through pivotal and often tumultuous periods in American history as he portrays Bridges – a figure simultaneously hailed as a hero and condemned as a villain, who met it all with unwavering spirit.
