King (1978)
An Education for a Teen Activist
I first saw this on TV in 1978 and was held spellbound by it. In a time when I was becoming involved in the issue of Apartheid "KING" spoke to me like a prophet telling truth to power.
Created as a flashback the film speaks from the last week of King's life and goes back to where it all began in Montgomery in 1956. Like John Lennon, Harvey Milk, Gandhi and JFK, King was shot for the danger he presented to those who had much invested in the status quo.
For a long time after I wanted to get this on VHS I now have the DVD which sits alongside of Attenborough's GANDHI, Zaffirelli's Jesus of NAZARETH and IMAGINE: JOHN LENNON
