HBO has released the trailer for “We Are The Dream,” a documentary film chronicling students who, inspired by the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., compete in the annual Martin Luther King Oratorical Festival.
The title of the series comes from King’s infamous speech delivered in August 1963 during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The finals for the festival are held in February of each year, which is also National Black History Month.
“We Are The Dream” premieres on Feb. 18, 2020.
Participants of all races are featured in the trailer, delivering inspirational messages like, “We fight today, we fight tomorrow, but that doesn’t stop our sorry” and “it’s time to stand up to hate.” The festival allows for both individual and group performances.
A description of the film is below:
