Social Justice in Video: Famous Hollywood director turns the lens on Alabama H.B. 56

People from all walks of life have spoken out against H.B. 56 — and now the nation hears from Hollywood. Director Chris Weitz has turned the camera on Alabama and created a series of videos asking “Is This Alabama?”
