The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks

This crucial documentary on the “Mother of the Civil Rights movement” is a comprehensive telling of the icon’s lifelong dedication to activism. Interviews, personal stories and remarkable footage of Mrs. Parks herself illuminates her decades-worth of extensive organizing, strategizing and activism—much of it in Detroit! In celebrating one of America’s greatest heroes, this film also shines a much-needed light on the overlooked role of Black women’s work in the struggle for equality.
