Progress does not always come from legislation. It comes from human beings who stand up for themselves and what they believe in.
The 2016 film, Loving, is based on the true story of the 1967 Supreme Court case Loving vs. Virginia.
In the 1960s, Richard and Mildred Loving (Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga) are young newlyweds. The problem is that Richard was White and Mildred was Black. In many parts of this country at the time, interracial marriage was illegal. After their arrest, they fought for their right to stay married and to be recognized as a married couple.
This movie is so good. It tugs at your heartstrings, makes you believe in love, and makes you grateful for the sacrifices Richard and Mildred made.
Do I recommend it? Absolutely.
