Gumbo Coalition

Intimate portrait of two leading civil rights and social justice leaders, Marc Morial, head of the National Urban League, and Janet Murguia, head of UnidosUS, during the tumultuous years of the Trump presidency. The documentary showcases the work of these two organizations fighting for criminal justice reform and changes to our harsh immigration policies through the lens of personal stories that bring home the resulting impacts to our communities and individual lives. The COVID-19 pandemic, the killing of George Floyd, voter suppression, and the 2020 election denial and subsequent attack on the Capitol force both leaders and organizations to go into over-drive in their fight to give voice and agency to all of us as we strive to build a better America. Gumbo Coalition is a timely reminder of the power of people to effect change for the better as we head into the 2024 election.
