On Wednesday, December 7 at 5:00 pm, LOVING will be shown with a live audio describer courtesy of Radio Talking Book Service for the partially sighted and visually impaired.

From acclaimed writer/director Jeff Nichols, LOVING celebrates the real-life courage and commitment of an interracial couple, Richard and Mildred Loving (Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga), who married and then spent the next nine years fighting for the right to live as a family in their hometown. Their civil rights case, Loving v. Virginia, went all the way to the Supreme Court, which in 1967 reaffirmed the very foundation of the right to marry – and their love story has become an inspiration to couples ever since.


“After my dear uncle lost his vision to macular degeneration, he missed his happy hours reading newspapers, magazines and books.  He had a lively mind and many interests.  I know that Radio Talking Book helped fill the void that resulted from his loss of vision.  Thank you for what you gave to my uncle!” a donor from Spokane, WA
