An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis' life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism - from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent "the boy from Troy" a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King's closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the "boy from Troy" and called on his fellow Americans to get into "good trouble" until his passing on July 17, 2020.

I loved it. His life was so very inspirational. The world just lost a good man. I also wish that it was free to watch because he just died. It would be a nice thing to do in honor of a great man.

It was the absolute most amazing time ever I can do what it takes as well ❤️ 💙 pulls us together ❤️😍💗 the same for everyone else stay strong 💪🙏

This was a great peek at one of the world's best, strongest yet gentlest man in US history. A true underdog and hero that doesn't get near enough credit for his peaceful and tolerant actions to pull the USA on the right side of history.
