John Lewis: GOOD TROUBLE Doc. of an American Hero Fighting 5 Decades of Racial Injustice

US Rep. John Lewis (b 1940) is a courageous, inspiring American hero leading the good fight for social justice, racial equality with dignity and compassion.  Dawn Porter's doc. "John Lewis:  GOOD TROUBLE" is a compelling historic account of the brutality & inhumanity of racism that has perseverated our nation from its conception.  Porter's archival footage of a Rep. Lewis as a young man engaged in peaceful protest alongside Dr. MLK is a horrifying record of the brutality inflicted on people of color by white police officers.  March 7, 1965, known as Bloody Sunday, was captured by network news.  It remains a shocking and painful testament of legalized brutalities brandished against peaceful protestors during the civil rights era; standing up for their rights as citizens and the right to vote.  The footage was seen live on network television bringing the horrors into everyone's home just as Mr. Floyd's murder (along with so many others) was so gruesomely depicted in its entirety.  Porter ("Spies of MI" '14) does a remarkable job covering the ongoing civil rights movements and Cong. John Lewis' heroic life of dedicated service to our country.  Mr. Lewis' message is delivered in a stentorian voice, "See something not right, not fair, not just.  Say something.  Do something.  Get in trouble - Good trouble.  Necessary trouble."  Other notable social activists included in this trenchant and inspiring doc. include:  US Rep. Elijah Cummings (1951-2019), Sen. Julian Bond (1940-2015), Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sec. of State Hilary Clinton, Sen. Cory Booker, Prof. Henry Gates, Jr. and Atty. Gen. Eric Holder to name several attesting to Cong. Lewis' achievements.  Rep. Lewis, alongside MLK laid the footprint for peaceful protest fighting for social justice with dignity and unflappability.  Rep. Lewis reminds us we must not despair during these turbulent times.  Now is the time to realign the scales of justice and take up the call for humanity.  Rep. Lewis spoke of our progress towards racial equality and is disheartened where we are today.  Our great American hero and civil rights activist has wrought so many positive legislations said "We're not going backwards.  We're going forwards."  Thank you Rep. Lewis for being a beacon of hope and mentor for humanity.  Beloved Congressman Lewis, we're honored to have your leadership and illuminating example.
