    'Ralph Bunche: An American Odyssey' (2001), narrated by Oscar-winning actor Sidney Poitier, is the first in-depth documentary film about Dr. Ralph Johnson Bunche (1903-1971), a statesman, peace negotiator, leading intellectual and scholar, and the first person of color to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Having overcome racial prejudice and poverty to become Undersecretary General of the United Nations, Bunche's life offers a unique window on many key issues and historical events during the middle of the 20th century, including international peacekeeping, decolonization and human rights.
