For the Rights of All: Ending Jim Crow in Alaska traces the inspiring story of the state’s civil rights movement. Blending documentary and drama, it tells the story of Alaskan Native community members and leaders who refused to let unequal laws stand without challenge and pays homage to one of the movement’s most remarkable figures, Tlingit activist Elizabeth Peratrovich, whose eloquent defense of justice helped change history.
