In order to help keep our community healthy, we won’t be showing movies at the Grange this fall. Instead, the Home Together Fall Film Series has picked four movies you can watch anytime on your own at home and then join a Reel Talk via Zoom. You can listen to a provocative discussion about the film between two special guests and submit your own questions. We can be Home Together with great movies and lively speakers until we can be together in person in front of the big screen at the Grange again.

John Lewis: Good Trouble is an intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism. Using interviews and rare archival footage, the documentary moves from his childhood and family, to his student years fighting against segregation in Nashville, to the Freedom Rides and marches of the 1960s, to his more than three decades as a progressive voice in the US Congress. Lewis, who died in July at the age of 80, never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble.”
