Synopsis

THE ORGANIZER profiles Wade Rathke, the controversial founder of ACORN, and examines the often-misunderstood work of community organizing. ACORN was once the largest community organization in the U.S., until its decline following public scandals. Rathke, a former anti-war and welfare rights activist, founded ACORN in 1970 in Little Rock, growing it into a major political force for low-income people. His leadership fueled ACORN's expansion, but internal struggles and external challenges ultimately led to its collapse. Now, Rathke is establishing new organizations globally and attempting to revive his work in the U.S. Using extensive archives and interviews, THE ORGANIZER explores the lives of those who dedicate themselves to empowering marginalized communities – a challenging and often controversial endeavor.
