"Courage is not being unafraid, but doing what needs to be done in spite of fear," said the founder of the Freedom Rides and pioneer of the earliest sit-ins. A relentless leader, a dynamic speaker, and a forceful organizer, Farmer was one of the first civil rights activists to use nonviolent direct action to fight for dignity and justice. Yet at what cost? His own family suffered from his frequent absences, prison stays, and threats made on his life. And, he was continually disappointed in his lack of recognition, especially after witnessing the momentous legacy of Martin Luther King, a man ten years his junior. The Good Fight chronicles Farmer's life, in his own words, from his earliest days as a "Great Debater" at Wiley College to his legacy teaching a new generation of students about the movement that shaped a country. —Laura Neitzel ## Streaming options in the United Kingdom ### Rent (typically 24-48 hours) - [Amazon Video](https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=The%20Good%20Fight%3A%20James%20Farmer%20Remembers%20the%20Civil%20Rights%20Movement&i=instant-video) ### Buy (digital download) - [Amazon Video](https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=The%20Good%20Fight%3A%20James%20Farmer%20Remembers%20the%20Civil%20Rights%20Movement&i=instant-video) ## Frequently asked questions **Where can I watch The Good Fight: James Farmer Remembers the Civil Rights Movement in the UK?** The Good Fight: James Farmer Remembers the Civil Rights Movement (2009) is not currently included in any UK subscription service.
