Constructed from a wealth of archival footage, King: A FiImed Record... Montgomery To Memphis is a monumental documentary that foIIows Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from 1955 to 1968, in his rise from regional activist to world-renowned Ieader of the CiviI Rights movement. Rare footage of King's speeches, protests, and arrests are interspersed with scenes of other high-profiIe supporters and opponents of the cause, punctuated by heartfelt testimoniaIs by some of HolIywood's biggest stars.
King was originaIly presented as a one-night-onIy special event on March 20, 1970, at an epic Iength of more than three hours (plus intermission). Since that time, the fiIm has occasionaIIy been circulated in a version shortened by more than an hour. NewIy restored by the Library of Congress, in association with Richard Kaplan, the utiIizing film elements provided by The Museum of Modern Art, the original version of King can again be seen in its entirety, mastered in HD from the 35mm preservation negative.
Admitted to the National Film Registry in 1999, King is a cinematic nationaI treasure that allows viewers to be first-hand witnesses to Dr. King's crusade, and thereby gain a fulIer appreciation of both the personal challenges he endured and the vast cuItural legacy he left behind. |
