John Lewis in "John Lewis: Good Trouble," a Magnolia Pictures release.
If you missed it as part of the recent Milwaukee Film Festival, there's another chance to catch Dawn Porter's new documentary about John Lewis, a pillar of the civil rights movement and the U.S. House of Representatives for more than six decades. (Sadly, we lost Lewis to cancer on July 17.) This screening hosted by the First Unitarian Society of Madison takes place on Zoom, and will be followed by a discussion on how to support get-out-the-vote efforts in Lewis' home state of Georgia. Register here.
press release: A documentary, John Lewis: Good Trouble, was released earlier this year by Magnolia Pictures. Directed by Dawn Porter, the movie uses a combination of archival footage and contemporary interviews to chronicle Lewis’s “60-plus years of social activism and legislative action on civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health-care reform and immigration.
Our hopes is that that this film will inspire all who watch to share some of their time, treasure and/or talent to help get out the vote in Georgia for the Jan 5th U.S. Senate races.
Screening Link: Check back here. Screening link will appear soon.
After-film Zoom discussion about how you can help get out the vote in GA:
