Rustin is a 2023 Biopic historical drama film directed by George C. Wolfe (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom), written by Julian Breece (When They See Us) and Dustin Lance Black (When We Rise, Milk) and produced by Barack and Michelle Obama through their production company Higher Grounds Productions. The film was released on Netflix on November 17, 2023, after a brief theatrical run in the U.S.The film tells the story of Bayard Rustin (played by Colman Domingo), an activist and vital figure in the African-American Civil Rights Movement of the 20th century who worked alongside the likes of Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis, and is credited with teaching King a lot about non-violent resistance. Due to him being openly gay in a time when homosexuality was still criminal in many U.S. states, he mostly worked behind the scenes, organizing protests and rallying supporters into action. Because of this, as well as him having been a vocal socialist, he tends to go overlooked in favor of more prominent figures like King.Rustin covers his part in organizing the 1963 March on Washington, in which somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000 people marched to the Washington Monument and King delivered his famous "I have a dream" speech, a day often credited with bringing the civil rights movement to great public attention and helping getting laws that made discrimination illegal signed into U.S. law.Not to be confused with the 2001 film Rustin, which is about a town called Rustin, Alabama.Cast | |
