CALIFORNIA STATE OF MIND

In the turbulent 1960s, an ordinary man rose to face extraordinary challenges and powerfully shaped the future of modern California. Told from his granddaughter's perspective, a dynamic American dream story unfolds in this unique portrait of Governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown — "the Godfather of Modern California." Award‑winning filmmaker Sascha Rice creates an intimate, inside look at a California icon, the father of Governor Jerry Brown — and the making of a political dynasty.
