Loving TIFF Premiere

bio | Joel Edgerton is Richard Loving "They just wanted to love each other and have the right to love each other. And so the movie’s a love story first."
bio | Ruth Negga as Mildred Loving "People who are worried that no one will listen to them or that they don't have a voice, it just goes to show: everyone has a voice and everyone has the potential to change laws."
Photo | Uncommon Common Folk: Richard and Mildred Loving came from humble roots and likely could never imagined how they could make an impact for Civil Rights.
bio | Michael Shannon as Grey Villet
Photo | Sidney: The first of Richard and Mildred’s three children, Sidney Loving.

They weren’t martyrs, and didn’t want to be. They weren’t symbols, and didn’t want to be. They were two people in love who wanted to be with each other and their family.

Photo | Inherent Rights: "When any society says that I cannot marry a certain person, that society has cut off a segment of my freedom." Reverend Martin Luther King Jr, c. 1958
Photo | Natural: "[Grey Villet] avoided posing his subjects, refused to manipulate the action and simply waited patiently for telling moments to emerge, in the belief that reality would supply more truth than any imposition of his own ego.”
