John Lewis: Good Trouble (2020)

“My philosophy is very simple. When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, say something. Do something. Get in trouble. Good trouble. Necessary trouble.” This is the impassioned quote from the late John Lewis that begins the trailer for “John Lewis: Good Trouble.” The documentary chronicles the life of the late Rep. Lewis, who passed away in 2020, and his more than six decades of social activism and legislative action on civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health-care reform and immigration.
