    Using audio recordings made in the deep south at the height of the civil rights movement, along with hundreds of never seen B&W still photographs made by Danny Lyon as he was employed as the SNCC staff photographer, including audio made by Mr. Lyon of John Lewis, Julian Bond & Dotty Zellner, this film weaves together one of American history’s greatest struggles for Freedom.

    The story begins in 1962 in Cairo Illinois when Lyon, then a University of Chicago student, meets John Lewis, Freedom rider. In 1963 Lewis is elected Chairman of the SNCC and Lyon and he share an apartment in ATL. The story of this friendship continues until Lewis, stricken with cancer, makes his last video recording with Lyon, a stunningly intimate scene, with Lyon in tears and Lewis’s promise that a new generation of revolutionaries are “on their way.”

    Running time: 75 minutes.
