Hey everyone, I'm CNN Political Director David Chalien.

We're bringing you something a little different today, and we want to know what you think.

Stick around after the episode to hear how you can share your feedback.

It's clear the pandemic has put a fight over access to the ballot box front and center,

and there's little doubt that the effects on voting rights will primarily be felt by communities of color.

But in many ways, the virus is simply shining a light on the

centuries-long battle to secure voting rights. That's the focus of a new CNN film Good Trouble

on Congressman John Lewis's decades-long fight for the right to vote, a fight that's far from over.

Our culture and politics writer Brandon Tensley is going to break down why this film and

Lewis's fight are so important with some help from the congressman's own words.

Sometimes there come a time when you have to just stand up. And sometimes by sitting in or

sitting down, you're standing up.

Sometimes you have to find a way to get in the way.

Sometimes you have to find a way to make a way out of no way.

Sometimes you have to find a way to get in trouble.

Good trouble, necessary trouble.

And that's what we did.

We cannot afford to be quiet.

Not any longer.

So that was John Lewis,

the 80-year-old U.S. representative and civil rights icon.

You could think of Good Trouble as his motto, as his guiding principle.
