John Lewis: Good Trouble

Dawn Porter's portrait of the civil rights leader and longtime Georgia congressman follows John Lewis from the Freedom Rides and the march at Selma to his last years in Congress, fighting for voting rights. Lewis tells much of the story himself.

The film was released in July 2020, weeks before Lewis died, and it became a farewell. It's a straightforward, affectionate biography of a man whose phrase 'good trouble' came to stand for a whole philosophy of protest.
