Are most politicians merely marionettes
that dance to the popular tunes while they skirt the most
delicate issues? How many of our political leaders today
cower, marching to the drumbeat of truth? In The King of
Compton! The Assassination of a Dream, meet OMAR
BRADLEY, a man who grew up trapped in the shadow of despair
associated with his blackness. His life unfolds before our
eyes as a school boy, teenager, college student, teacher,
mayor of Compton three times, and finally, resident of the
penal system in the state of California.
This deeply personal story of the painful
struggles of the ex-mayor of Compton will send a chilling
message and will provide insight into the seamy side of
politics when you get on the wrong side of Big Brother.
