John Lewis: Good Trouble Virtual Cinema

Mon, September 21, 2020, 4:00 pm

Working with New Jersey Performing Arts Center and Magnolia Productions, we are participating in a nationwide viewing of the documentary and a live zoom panel discussion. Below is a brief description.

Celebrate an icon who spent his life getting into Good Trouble!

This month, remember the life and legacy of Representative John Lewis – Freedom Rider and Congressman, Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree and the conscience of a nation – who served the cause of social justice for decades, both as an elected representative and as a groundbreaking activist whose fervent belief in getting into “good trouble, necessary trouble” for the cause of racial equality changed our nation.

Join audiences from across the country for a nationwide watch of the riveting new documentary John Lewis: Good Trouble followed by a live virtual panel on Monday, September 21, @4PM featuring the film’s director and civil rights advocates as they talk about Representative Lewis’s legacy of fearless protest and how we can keep his campaign for justice alive.

Your rental also includes a $5 donation to us!
