KING A FILMED RECORD... FROM MONTGOMERY TO MEMPHIS is the landmark documentary that chronicles the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.., from the beginnings of the Civil Rights movement in Montgomery, Alabama, and culminating with his assassination in Memphis in 1968. Originally screened in theaters for only a single night in 1970, KING A FILMED RECORD combines dramatic readings by Harry Belafonte, James Earl Jones and Paul Newman, among others, with newsreel and archival footage to create a powerful and comprehensive record of Dr. King's legacy and the American Civil Rights movement. KING A FILMED RECORD is an indispensable primary resource of a pivotal moment in American and world history.
From the time that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Emerged as a resonant voice in the American civil rights movement, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover regarded him as a danger to the status quo that needed to be discredited. This stunning documentary lays bare the Bureau's unflagging campaign to surveil and undermine Dr. King through the balance of his life-and the disturbing resonance that the questions raised here have in our contemporary politics. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
