Virtual Film Series ~ John Lewis: Good Trouble
This year the Woodstock Vermont Film Series, presented by Billings Farm & Museum is entering a new era, using an online platform to stream our 15-film series. We look forward to bringing this format for unique, place-based storytelling to our community.
Tickets are sold per film, or purchase a series pass.
Using interviews and rare archival footage, John Lewis: Good Trouble chronicles the Georgia representative’s 60-plus years of social activism and legislative action on civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health-care reform and immigration. Using present-day interviews with Lewis, then 80 years old, Porter explores his childhood experiences, his inspiring family and his fateful meeting with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1957. In addition to her interviews with Lewis and his family, Porter’s primarily cinéma verité film also includes inter- views with political leaders, Congressional colleagues, and other people who figure prominently in his life.
