Witness the true story of John Mitchell, Jr., the “Fighting Editor” of the groundbreaking Richmond Planet newspaper, as he fights tooth and nail to save an extraordinary man’s life. Set in the heart of Jackson Ward, America's original Black Wall Street, PRESS asks: How do we demand justice under impossible circumstances? And when everything is at risk - what do you dare put in print?
PRESS is the culmination of the John Mitchell, Jr. Project - a multi-year research and development collaboration conducted in partnership with the Virginia Museum of History and Culture and the Richmond Planet Foundation.
