Congressman John Lewis, who has dedicated his life to protecting human rights, leads us on an emotional pilgrimage to 'sacred sites of the Civil Rights Movement' in Alabama, from Montgomery where an 18-year-old Lewis first met Martin Luther King, Jr., to the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma where he was brutally beaten leading a march for the right to vote. Along the way we are introduced to the 'countless unsung heroes who cared deeply, sacrificed much, and fought hard for a better America.' Archival film, historic photographs, and music recorded at mass meetings bring the personal recollections vividly to life.
