Movie #3192 "Rustin" (Netflix) This is definitely a story that needs to be told. Rustin was the one who inspired MLK to be more of a pacifist in his dealings with protesting, and he was the main man behind the Parade in Washington and MLK's most famous speech --- but why haven't we heard of him? According to this film, he was pushed into the background because he was openly gay, and even the NAACP didn't want to be connected with him. But what a doer this guy was ! and such a grand leader. What an inspirational film about a true hero who shows what true patriotism is all about. My only complaint is that the film in some parts could be even clearer, but it was informative. I'd give it a 4 out of 5.
