Oh no - we’ve lost a great defender of democracy and the environment. Throughout his personal life and professional film career, he consistently sought to spotlight government, corporate, and military-industrial corruption while shining a light on the importance of democracy. The world has lost a remarkable person!

Do yourself a favor and watch some of his most important movies that represented his ideology "Truth", "Brubaker", "Sneakers" or "Spy Game".

Two remarkable people in less than one week. Damn shame, but more will pick up their gauntlets and run with them!

FYI, I think the term you're slightly misusing is "running the gauntlet", which means to face a difficult trial, usually in public. Although you may be mixing it up with "to pick up the gauntlet" (but not run with it), which means to accept a challenge.
