  • Ralph Bunche: An American Odyssey

    2001. USA. 117 mins. Directed by William Greaves. Produced by William Greaves, Louise Archambault.

    Greaves chronicles the life and times of the world-renowned African American Nobel Peace Prize Winner and United Nations statesman, who not only pioneered the organization’s peacekeeping and conflict resolution strategies, but was also one of the leading advocates of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This superb film offers a rich and largely neglected perspective on twentieth-century American intellectual and political history.
