John Lewis: Good Trouble - Film

A 2020 American documentary film directed by Dawn Porter about the life of civil rights activist and United States congressman John Lewis

Using interviews and rare archival footage, "Good Trouble" chronicles John Lewis' 60-plus years of social activism and legislative action on civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health-care reform and immigration. Using present-day interviews with Lewis, now 79 years old, Porter explores his childhood experiences, his inspiring family and his fateful meeting with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1957. In addition to her interviews with Lewis and his family, Porter's primarily cinéma verité film also includes interviews with political leaders, Congressional colleagues, and other people who figure prominently in his life.
