"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," the movie's synopsis reads.
"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."

The further cast includes Sense8's Aml Ameen, Law & Order's Gus Halper, Avatar's CCH Pounder, The Idol's Da’Vine Joy Randolph, New Year's Eve's Johnny Ramey, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom's Michael Potts and James Bond's Jeffrey Wright.
