Mighty Ira

Ira is one of America's unsung champions of civil rights and liberties. As his generation retires from the barricades, Ira reminisces on his life at the forefront of defending the rights of all Americans.

Directed by Chris Maltby, Nico Perrino, Aaron Reese, Mighty Ira leans on a strong ensemble — Ira Glasser, William F. Buckley Jr. — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2020.
