More about the short documentary:
In the shadow of a divisive election, a young organizer seeks wisdom from a civil rights elder—and takes to the streets to rekindle a movement rooted in courage, memory, and the unshakable pursuit of dignity.
In the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election, voting rights organizer Charles Douglas III finds himself at a crossroads— disquieted and questioning the future of his community and the movement he has helped lead. Seeking clarity, he turns to civil rights veteran Charles Mauldin, who, at just 17, was sixth in line during the historic 1965 march across Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge.
As the two men walk and talk—across decades and generations, they wrestle with what it means to keep going when history seems to repeat itself. Their conversations unearth hard-won lessons from young activists who, sixty years earlier, refused to pause their peaceful struggle for democratic dignity, even in the face of violent resistance and deep uncertainty.
