Synopsis by C. Dwayne Smith
Brought to video by PBS, this documentary details The Pilgrimage of Jesse Jackson. From his modest beginnings in Greenville, SC, to his stunning victory in the 1988 Democratic Michigan primary, Frontline shines the light on the life of one of America's most revered speakers. The camera follows this one-time disciple of Martin Luthur King, as he proceeds to preach peace and prosperity to a nation divided. Highlights from his colorful life include the creation of the Rainbow Coalition, and the peace negotiations for prisoners of war lost in the desert sands of Kuwait, and the victims of the blurred borders of Kosovo.
