hollywoodreporter.com:

Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump has joined with Hideaway Entertainment and INDE Companies for Freedom Ride, a civil rights drama to shoot next year.

The movie's script will be based on first-person accounts by original Freedom Riders, including the late John Lewis, a longtime Congressman and civil rights icon. "This film is not only timely with the recent passing of Congressman John Lewis, it is timely because it will help to preserve the legacy of John Lewis for younger generations to come.

This story will resonate with the world today because John Lewis was an original voice for Black Lives Matter back in the 1960’s before anyone had ever contemplated a Black Lives Matter movement that lives today," Crump said in a statement.

‘Convenience Store’ Review: Ripped-From-Headlines Drama Uncovers Modern Slaves in Plain Sight

Michael Nordine authorAnyone who’s ever scoffed at a company referring to its employees as family will immediately hear alarm bells ringing when Zhanna (Lyudmila Vasilyeva), the matriarch who runs Produkty 24, tells her workers they aren’t just employees, they’re her children. It won’t take long for “Convenience Store” to justify that skepticism and then some: A highlight of the 2022 Berlin Film Festival’s Panorama program, Michael Borodin’s look at an Uzbek immigrant working in the Moscow outskirts is all the more disturbing for the fact that it’s based on a real case of human trafficking.The marriage of Mukkahabat (a gently devastating Zukhara Sanzysbay) to a fellow worker is our entree into this world, but it’s hardly a storybook wedding.

Why The ‘Axios On HBO’ Interview With Donald Trump Worked: A Challenge To Some Of The President’s Most Common Claims

Ted Johnson Jonathan Swan’s interview with Donald Trump for Axios on HBO is getting a lot of attention for what the president says about the rising number of coronavirus cases, claims of Russia funding of the Taliban and what he thinks of the late John Lewis, among other things.What also stands out, though, is Swan’s ability to challenge Trump on some of his most common pronouncements.The president has a gift for repeating exaggerated, misleading and false claims, to the point where they have become just routine part of discourse. He often answers questions with a fusillade of claims, making it difficult for any reporter to know how and when to interrupt and when to just let him speak.

Ted Johnson Former President Barack Obama eulogized John Lewis as a “founding father of that fuller, fairer, better America,” while calling for a renewed push for voting rights and other reforms, even if that means ending the Senate’s filibuster.Speaking at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta following two of his predecessors, former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, Obama warned of continued voter suppression.“Even as we sit here, there are those in power who are doing their darnedest to stop people from voting,” Obama said, outlining a litany of concerns, including the closing of polling stations and instituting voter ID laws.
