George C. Wolfe directed the film about Bayard Rustin, a gay civil rights activist.
The first official images from Netflix's Rustin have been shared by Vanity Fair, giving audiences a first look at George C. Wolfe's biopic about a gay rights activist that would change the course of history. Colman Domingo stars as Bayard Rustin, who co-organized the March on Washington that took place on August 28, 1963. The influence Rustin had during the time period when Dr. Martin Luther King was making the entire country listen to him will be explored in the upcoming movie.
Chris Rock will also be featured in the project as Roy Wilkins, another activist from the time who was eventually appointed as head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. On the other hand, Glynn Turman will portray A. Philip Randolph, the organizer of the first ever labor union led by African-American people.
