Why watch this film?
Rosa Parks' name is most famously known in the racial history of the United States for a single moment in 1955 when, in Alabama and still in the era of segregation, she refused to give up her seat to a white man and was arrested for it. But was that all? Not at all: 'The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks' is a documentary that reveals the truth: yes, she was at the center of that moment of civil disobedience, but it's just a small part in a life of activism, including collaborations with the Black Panthers and figures like Edgar Nixon and Martin Luther King Jr. A documentary to discover a new facet of Parks and the struggle for civil rights in the United States.
