The architect of 1963’s momentous March on Washington, Bayard Rustin (Emmy winner Colman Domingo) was one of the greatest activists and organizers the world has ever known. He challenged authority, never apologized for who he was, what he believed or who he desired. And he did not back down. He made history, and in turn, he was forgotten. Rustin shines a long overdue spotlight on the extraordinary man who, alongside giants like the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and Ella Baker, dared to imagine a different world and inspired a movement in a march toward freedom. Featuring a star-studded cast alongside Colman Domingo including Chris Rock as Roy Wilkins, Aml Ameen as Martin Luther King Jr., Jeffrey Wright as Adam Clayton Powell Jr., and Audra McDonald as Ella Baker. A Netflix release
