Aspen Film is thrilled to partner with Magnolia Pictures to offer the brand-new documentary film JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE. The film will be available to watch beginning July 3, but currently can be purchased in advance. Each stream is $12 and once purchased, the film will be active for 72 hours.

Using interviews and rare archival footage, JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE chronicles Lewis’ 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, now 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 interviews with political leaders, Congressional colleagues, and other people who figure prominently in his life.
