In Collaboration with the Martha’s Vineyard chapter of the NAACP
The architect of 1963’s momentous March on Washington, Bayard Rustin was one of the greatest activists and organizers the world has ever known. He challenged authority, never apologized for who he was, what he believed, or who he desired. And he did not back down. He made history, and in turn, he was forgotten. Directed by DGA Award and five-time Tony Award winner George C. Wolfe and starring Emmy Award winner Colman Domingo, Rustin shines a long overdue spotlight on the extraordinary man who, alongside giants like the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Adam Clayton Powell Jr., and Ella Baker, dared to imagine a different world, and inspired a movement in a march toward freedom.
“Rustin is a bold and generous movie that sets its conventional biopic wrapper on fire.” – AARP
“Rustin is a long overdue biopic with a shining performance from Colmon Domingo.” – Solzy at the movies
