VoteRiders, WWAV, Democracy NC, and Participant invite you to a special virtual screening of the new documentary John Lewis: Good Trouble!
The fight for the right vote is not over. VoteRiders and our partners across the country are making sure that EVERY eligible voter has equal access to the ballot.
RSVP today to stream John Lewis: Good Trouble from Friday, July 17 - Friday, July 24 and then join us for a live online discussion on Thursday, July 23rd at 6 PM EDT about how Congressman Lewis’ legacy inspires a whole new generation of voting activism.
John Lewis: Good Trouble producers Erika Alexander and Laura Michalchysyn will join Duke Basketball’s Nolan Smith, the ACLU of North Carolina’s Kristie Puckett-Williams, and VoteRiders’ North Carolina Coordinator Pamela Pearson to discuss Representative Lewis’ legacy of action and how we can protect the right to vote in North Carolina.
JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Dawn Porter (TRAPPED, GIDEON’S ARMY), chronicles the life and career of the legendary civil rights activist and Democratic Representative from Georgia, and celebrates his 60-plus years of social activism and legislative action on civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health-care reform, and immigration. Featuring both rare archival footage and exclusive interviews with the late Congressman, 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 interviews with political leaders, Congressional colleagues, and other people who figured prominently in his life.
Immediately following the feature, there will be a pre-recorded discussion between Representative Lewis and Oprah Winfrey, filmed last month and being made available exclusively for virtual cinema and in-theater engagements of the film. This is a wide-ranging, informal, 16-minute conversation that’s a perfect follow-up to the documentary.
