Ira Glasser in Mighty Ira (2020)
Ira Glasser is one of America's unsung champions of civil rights and liberties. As the leader of the American Civil Liberties Union for 23 years, he transformed the organization from a small, "mom-and-pop" operation on the verge of bankruptcy into a civil liberties juggernaut with offices in every state and a $30 million endowment. As his generation retires from the barricades, Ira reminisces on his life at the forefront of defending the rights of all Americans, from civil rights leaders to neo-Nazis.

    Great movie
    Great movie, it raises awareness to something most people don't know, along with teaching us how freedom of speech is for everyone, not just the side you are on.
