Governor Jerry Brown

The Californian Century

Available for over a year

Stanley Tucci tells the story of Jerry Brown, California's longest serving governor. Brown is a singular figure in Californian politics, having presided over California from 1975 to 1983 and 2011 to 2019. In a wide-ranging interview, Brown shares his thoughts on California's past and future. A great source of inspiration is his great grandfather, who came over in the Gold Rush. But Jerry Brown believes after a century of growth, California must now learn to embrace limits. Academic consultant: Dr Ian Scott, University of Manchester Written and produced by Laurence Grissell
