This film follows acclaimed director/choreographer Bill T. Jones (Last Supper at Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Still/Here, FELA!) as he and his company create their most ambitious work, an original dance-theater piece in honor of Abraham Lincoln’s Bicentennial. Jones and his company come face to face with America’s unresolved contradictions about race, equality and the legacy of our sixteenth president. Premiering on the heels of Jones’s Tony Award for FELA! and 2010 Kennedy Center Honor, A Good Man is a window on the creative process and the creative crisis felt by an artist as he explores what it means to be a good man, a free man, and a citizen.
