A story from many decades ago still has resonance today, as evidenced by the recently released trailer for Loving.
Inspired by the documentary The Loving Story, Loving focuses on Richard and Mildred Loving (played by Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga), an interracial couple who married in June 1958. Shortly after their nuptials, they were arrested, thrown in jail, and exiled from Virginia.

Loving opens in theatres on November 4, 2016.
