“Good Trouble” for a Good Cause

The Ohio State University Alumni Association is excited to offer a unique virtual experience for our alumni and friends. We have partnered with Magnolia Pictures to provide our alumni an opportunity to rent and view “John Lewis: Good Trouble” and participate in a virtual discussion on the themes of civil and voting rights as explored within the film.

Now extended through this Sunday, October 18! For every rental, Magnolia Pictures will donate $5 to the Kirwan Institute at The Ohio State University. Those who rent and view the film are invited to a virtual discussion on civil and voting rights on October 21 at 6 p.m. with Kyle Strickland from the Kirwan Institute, Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, OSUDC Vice President Melissa Wasser, and Black Alumni Society President Kimberly Allen-Davis.Rent John Lewis: Good Trouble now
