Rob Bliss's documentary, 'White Man Walking,' chronicles his 1,500-mile trek from Mississippi to Washington D.C., holding a Black Lives Matter sign amid significant hostility. The film, a follow-up to his previous work, confronts racism directly as Bliss navigates through deeply segregated areas, eliciting both vitriol and unexpected dialogue. Initially perceived as self-righteous, Bliss ultimately demonstrates profound courage and grace, transforming the narrative from that of a white savior to an honest exploration of societal issues. His commitment to non-violence and dialogue fosters a deeper understanding in a climate plagued with hate.
Bliss reveals himself to be a man of quiet courage and a literally walking definition of grace under pressure.
He never rises to anyone's bait or seeks to antagonise. He is clearly a gentle soul.
