Мартин Лютер Кинг: Король без королевства
Self
Фильм рассказывает о закулисье жизни лауреата Нобелевской премии мира Мартине Лютере Кинге и показывает совершенно иную точку зрения на его характер. Для одних он — воплощение упорства и пламенный борец за равноправие. Для соратников — обычный человек со своими терзаниями. Основа документальной картины — интервью с теми, кто был с героем незадолго до его убийства. Фильм включает в себя уникальные архивные материалы, а также записи телефонных разговоров с президентом США Линдоном Джонсоном.
