John Lewis: Good Trouble is a documentary about former House of Representatives politician and Civil Rights activist, John Lewis. It was filmed about a year before he died.
I found it to be very informative. Some of the things brought up, I already knew about John, but there were some great additives in regard to his childhood, his early days of activism and the amount of positive impact he was able to have, in regard to legislation, while a member of the House of Representatives.I particularly enjoyed seeing his more human side. It was great seeing him interact with the strangers that approached him in the airport, his peers and younger generation staff. You get to see him not only as a serious man, but also his more playful, light-hearted, funny side.
This documentary helped to enforce my appreciation for John Lewis and the sacrifices he made, until his dying day, for a more perfect union. He was a humble man of kindness and action, and this documentary showed that, making it well worth the watch.
