Overview

Theo Wilson time travels to the tension-filled 60s to see how inspirational Civil Rights hero, John Lewis, came to lead a historic march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday. Wilson charts Lewis’ career from his first childhood protest, to risking his body and life as a civil rights icon, and the Bloody Sunday march, and how a decision to air it on national TV helped lead to change.
