Mighty IraDir. Dir. Nico Perrino, Aaron Reese, Chris Maltby | 98 min. | US | 2020Ira Glasser is one of America’s unsung champions of civil rights and liberties.

Amid high-profile controversies surrounding free speech and racial equality—and on the occasion of the ACLU’s centennial—Ira reflects on his life at the forefront of defending the rights of all Americans, from civil rights leaders to neo- Nazis.This is a virtual, online-only event.
