Film: "Loving"
A celebration of the real-life courage of the Lovings, an interracial couple who fought the Supreme Court and won.
In Loving, acclaimed writer/director Jeff Nichols (Mud, Take Shelter) celebrates the real-life courage and commitment of an interracial couple, Richard and Mildred Loving (Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga), who married and then spent the next nine years fighting for the right to live as a family in their hometown. Their civil rights case, Loving v. Virginia, went all the way to the Supreme Court, which in 1967 reaffirmed the very foundation of the right to marry—and their love story has become an inspiration to couples ever since.
