Film | Rustin (2023): Biographical Drama Directed by 5-Time Tony Winner
Rustin tells the story of Bayard Rustin, the civil rights activist and organizer behind the 1963 March on Washington. He challenged authority, never apologized for who he was, what he believed, or who he desired. And he did not back down. The film highlights his pivotal role in the civil rights movement. It shows how Rustin's strategic vision and tireless dedication helped shape the march and advance the fight for equality, while also exploring his personal struggles and the complexities of his identity. Directed by five-time Tony Award winner George C. Wolfe and starring Emmy Award winner Colman Domingo. Duration: 1h 38m Rated PG-13
