Teaser Trailer To ‘My Name Is Pauli Murray’
Amazon Studios has released the trailer to ‘My Name Is Pauli Murray,’ which will hit theaters September 17th, 2021 and on Prime Video October 1st, 2021.
My Name is Pauli Murray comes from Betsy West and Julie Cohen, the directors of RBG, and was an official selection at the 2021 Sundance Film Review. The film is also produced by Thalia Bridges McMahon.
Fifteen years before Rosa Parks refused to surrender her bus seat, a full decade before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned separate-but-equal legislation, Pauli Murray was already knee-deep fighting for social justice. A pioneering attorney, activist, priest, and dedicated memoirist, Murray shaped landmark litigation—and consciousness— around race and gender equity. As an African American youth raised in the segregated South— who was also wrestling with broader notions of gender identity—Pauli understood, intrinsically, what it was to exist beyond previously accepted categories and cultural norms. Both Pauli’s personal path and tireless advocacy foreshadowed some of the most politically consequential issues of our time. Told largely in Pauli’s own words, My Name is Pauli Murray is a candid recounting of that unique and extraordinary journey.
