‘Rustin’ Is Not A Biopic, But Living History
Listen now
Description
‘Rustin’ gives new life to the legacy of Civil Rights leader Bayard Rustin. Though Rustin was a influential figure in the civil rights movement — he was the adviser to Martin Luther King, Jr., and was architect to the 1963 March on Washington — his contributions have been largely overlooked in the movement’s history. Directed by George C. Wolfe and starring Colman Domingo as the titular activist, this biopic hopes to thrust Rustin’s hard work and dedication finally into the spotlight. Film critic Reggie Ponder shares his thoughts on the film for “The Reel Critic.” ‘Rustin’ is streaming on Netflix "The Reel Critic" is hosted and produced by Reggie Ponder.
