Description: The film is set in 1961 and details the actions of a multiracial group of young activists — led by Lewis, years before the future congressional leader had his skull cracked by an Alabama state trooper when he and other civil rights protesters crossed the Edmund Pettis Bridge. This movie tells the story of the moment when Lewis and others decide to take matters into their own hands in the fight against racial discrimination and hate. After signing their own last wills and testaments, these determined Freedom Riders journeyed by bus into the deep segregated South where mob violence and police brutality against Black Americans ran rampant and unchecked. Even with federal law on their side, the Freedom Riders were brutally beaten, arrested, and firebombed, all the while remaining nonviolent in the face of violence. In the end, their refusal to back down forces the government to finally take action and desegregate all the buses, trains, public places and facilities used in interstate travel
