Film Screening: “Loving” (2016)

Loving is a 2016 biographical drama film that tells the story of Richard and Mildred Loving, a couple who challenged the laws against interracial marriage in 1960s Virginia. The film is based on the documentary The Loving Story by Nancy Buirski, and directed by Jeff Nichols. The film stars Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga as the Lovings, who fought for their right to love and live as a family. The film depicts their arrest, trial, exile, and legal battle that reached the Supreme Court, which ruled in their favor in the landmark case Loving v. Virginia in 1967. The film is a tribute to the courage and the legacy of the Lovings, and their role in the civil rights movement. The film received critical acclaim and several awards and nominations, including an Oscar nomination for Negga and a Golden Globe nomination for Edgerton.
