Rustin Trailer Shows Off Netflix’s Colman Domingo-Led Biographical Drama

Netflix has released a new Rustin trailer for the Colman Domingo and Chris Rock-led biographical drama that follows civil rights activist Bayard Rustin. The movie will be released in select theaters on November 3 and will premiere on Netflix on November 17.

“The architect of 1963’s momentous March on Washington, Bayard Rustin was one of the greatest activists and organizers the world has ever known,” reads the movie’s synopsis. “He challenged authority, never apologized for who he was, what he believed, or who he desired. And he did not back down. He made history, and in turn, he was forgotten.

“Directed by DGA Award and five-time Tony Award winner George C. Wolfe and starring Emmy Award winner Colman Domingo, Rustin shines a long overdue spotlight on the extraordinary man who, alongside giants like the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Adam Clayton Powell Jr., and Ella Baker, dared to imagine a different world, and inspired a movement in a march toward freedom.”
