King: A Filmed Record…Montgomery to Memphis
Series: 1968: An International Perspective [April 29-May 14]
Director: Sidney Lumet & Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Country: USA, Release: 1970, Runtime: 185

King reminds us of the staunchness of spirit that can be aroused in the hearts of the humble, the strengths that lead to victories…Scene and action approach the eloquence of King himself.”—Judith Crist, New York Magazine

"STUNNING! A near-definitive portrait of both the activist and the history of the civil-rights movement. Don't miss this rare chance to see the full three-hour version!" - Time Out New York

Amid the tumult of 1968, two assassinations profoundly affected the future course of America: Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. King: A Filmed Record is really the biography of a movement, the chronicle of a growing, nationwide tide of protest and political activity. Drawing on hundreds of hours of news footage, the filmmakers create a detailed portrait of Dr. King, from his early work during the Montgomery bus strike to his tragic death by an assassin’s bullet. Along the way we get to experience his victories as well as his defeats, as the struggle for civil rights evolves and at times even moves in unexpected directions. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary, King: A Filmed Record includes some of Dr. King’s most memorable speeches, as well as eloquent statements about war, poverty and prejudice.

Richard Kaplan, a longtime friend of Dr. and Mrs. King and the film’s co-producer, will be on hand to introduce and discuss the film.
