Artdoggie Coleman Domingo is a revelation as Rustin. We celebrated MLK holiday watching this movie and it didnt fail to inspire and touch us with its power and beauty. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Sherry B Colman Domingo's performance was wonderful. The movie sheds light on what happened in the weeks leading up to the March on Washington. It showed how people working together can make anything happen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Michael P In 2 minds on this movie. Whilst undoubtedly a technically well made movie and really well acted, especially Coleman Domingos as Rustin, and the story is interesting, I got a bit bored in some parts and dragged a little. It's hard not to be inspired by the overall feat of what happened and it the movie does convey the achievement but I wish there was more of the day. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review David H After watching Rustin on Netflix, I felt inspired and deeply moved. The film beautifully brings to light the legacy of Bayard Rustin, a hero of the Civil Rights Movement who deserves to be remembered. I was captivated by his strength, resilience, and unwavering dedication to justice, even in the face of immense challenges. The story left me feeling both humbled and uplifted, grateful to have witnessed the journey of a remarkable man whose impact on history is finally receiving the recognition it deserves. Rustin is a powerful, heartfelt tribute that stays with you long after the credits roll. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Daniel B Well acted and a positive story that I hadn't known about before without graphic sex and violence. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Johannes S Domingo's acting is great and the story is inspiring with it culminating in one of American history's important events.

Synopsis The architect of 1963's momentous March on Washington, Bayard Rustin was one of the greatest activists and organizers the world has ever known. He challenged authority, never apologized for who he was, what he believed, or who he desired. And he did not back down. He made history, and in turn, he was forgotten. Directed by DGA Award and five-time Tony Award winner George C. Wolfe and starring Emmy Award winner Colman Domingo, Rustin shines a long overdue spotlight on the extraordinary man who, alongside giants like the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Adam Clayton Powell Jr., and Ella Baker, dared to imagine a different world, and inspired a movement in a march toward freedom.
