Loudmouth: A New Documentary Looks at the Life of Activist Al Sharpton

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Dec 6, 2022

Rev. Al Sharpton has spent his life saying things people did not want to hear. The new documentary "Loudmouth" chronicles his path from a teenage preacher to a racial justice firebrand on the streets of 1980s New York to becoming a presidential adviser and media elder statesman. Sharpton and director Josh Alexander joins us to discuss. "Loudmouth" closed out this year's Tribeca Film Festival, and it opens in theaters on December 9th and streams on Amazon and Apple TV in January.
