Event Details

Darien Library presents a new monthly program: Friday Movie Matinee!

This week we are showing "The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks."

“Based on the bestselling biography by Jeanne Theoharis and executive produced by award-winning journalist Soledad O’Brien, this crucial documentary on the “mother of the Civil Rights movement,” Rosa Parks, is a comprehensive telling of the icon’s lifelong dedication to activism. The film chronicles her historic role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, her work in politics alongside Congressman John Conyers in Detroit, and the many causes along the way, such as voting rights and reparations, that she fearlessly championed until her death in 2005.” – Tribeca Film

Directors: Yoruba Richen and Johanna Hamilton 

Year: 2022

This movie is 1 hour and 36 minutes and is rated TV-PG.
