Using interviews and rare archival footage, John Lewis: Good Trouble chronicles the late Georgia representative’s 60-plus years of social activism and legislative action on civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health-care reform and immigration. Using interviews with Lewis, then 80 years old, Porter explores his childhood experiences, his inspiring family and his fateful meeting with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1957. In addition to her interviews with Lewis and his family, Porter’s primarily cinéma verité film also includes inter- views with political leaders, Congressional colleagues, and other people who figure prominently in his life. The civil rights leader and longtime Georgia congressman John Lewis surely requires no introduction, but “John Lewis: Good Trouble,” a documentary from Dawn Porter, provides a solid one anyway, striking a good balance between revisiting Lewis’s most famous work as an activist and chronicling his life today.&nbsp;–&nbsp;The New&nbsp;York&nbsp;Times&nbsp;
