Random TV Love

My weekly television account seems to have completely fallen by the wayside, but I wanted to highlight this particular selection from last week. I knew a bit about the basics of the Loving case, but realized when I watched this movie that I don't think I'd ever heard either of them speak before. The documentarian really allows the footage of both the Lovings and their ACLU lawyers to speak for itself and drive the story of the case as it wound its way up to the Supreme Court. There's something really powerful about Mildred Loving's simple, plainspoken assertions of her rights, especially on days when people still find it necessary to be, well, versus Virginia. Hopefully, it will be available outside of HBO at some point.
