A romantic film of historical interracial sensibilities, Loving stars Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton as Richard and Mildred Loving. Loving, tells the tale of a real-life story of an interracial couple who had to fight all the way to the  U.S. Supreme Court in 1967 for the invalidation of Virginia state laws that prohibited interracial marriages and to legalize their union. Perfect for anyone who believes love, no matter its color or expression, is worth fighting for, and is true romantic at heart. “I felt such outrage on their behalf, like many others, that the simple act of wanting to be married to another human being would incur the wrath of the law and also make people really angry. So angry — violently angry. I was just so shocked by that,” Negga stated during an interview.
