“Rita Coburn and Jeffrey Wright Bring W.E.B. Du Bois Documentary to London” — what this page in the network covers.

Du Bois: Rebel With A Cause' to London, following its U.S. broadcast debut and theatrical roadshow tour. The film explores the life and legacy of W.E.B.
Du Bois, the pioneering sociologist, historian, and civil rights activist who co-founded the NAACP and authored seminal works like 'The Souls of Black Folk.' Coburn, known for 'Marian Anderson: The Whole World in Her Hands,' directs the documentary, which features Wright among its contributors. The London screening offers UK audiences a rare cinematic look at Du Bois's enduring influence on race, democracy, and social justice. With Du Bois's ideas increasingly relevant in today's global conversations about inequality, the film's international reach underscores his status as a thinker whose work transcends borders and time.
