JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE (2020)

 

“I want to see young people in America feel the spirit of the 1960s and find a way to get in the way. To find a way to get in trouble. Good trouble, necessary trouble.”

This is a documentary and tribute to the noble life and work of U.S. Representative John Lewis – 33 years in Congress, 45 arrests during the Civil Rights movement. He believed in transformative ideals, universal principles and persistence. He taught that change is slow but change makers need to keep on the move.
