Netflix revisits the historic 1963 March on Washington from the perspective of the event’s organizer Bayard Rustin in its original movie Rustin, premiering November 17.
The George Wolfe-directed film stars Colman Domingo as the civil rights leader, who, alongside the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Rep. Adam Clayton Powell and Ella Baker, inspired a march toward freedom, according to Netflix. A staunch supporter of nonviolent protest, the film chronicles Rustin’s unyielding activism and fight for equality as he challenged authority while never apologizing for who he was, what he believed and who he desired, Netflix said.
