Loving Day this year is June 12th this is a day which
commemorate the 1967 US Supreme Court decision between the Lovings vs Virginia,
which struck down all US State Laws banning interracial marriage – mainly
between non-whites and whites. The upcoming film, based on the Lovings,
releases later this fall in November. Check out the first clip, it
premiered earlier this month at the Cannes Film Festival.
From acclaimed writer/director Jeff Nichols, “Loving”
celebrates the real-life courage and commitment of an interracial couple,
Richard and Mildred Loving (Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga), who married and then
spent the next nine years fighting for the right to live as a family in their
hometown.
Their civil rights case, Loving v. Virginia, went all the way to the
Supreme Court, which in 1967 reaffirmed the very foundation of the right to marry
– and their love story has become an inspiration to couples ever since. Writer/Director: Jeff Nichols (“Midnight
Special,” “Mud,” “Take Shelter”). Cast:
Joel Edgerton, Ruth Negga, Marton Csokas, Nick Kroll, Terri Abney, Alano
Miller, Jon Bass, and Michael Shannon.
