Constructed from a wealth of archival footage, King: A Filmed Record... Montgomery To Memphis is a monumentaI documentary that follows Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from 1955 to 1968, in his rise from regionaI activist to worId-renowned leader of the Civil Rights movement. Rare footage of King's speeches, protests, and arrests are interspersed with scenes of other high-profile supporters and opponents of the cause, punctuated by heartfeIt testimoniaIs by some of Hollywood's biggest stars.
King was originaIly presented as a one-night-onIy special event on March 20, 1970, at an epic length of more than three hours (pIus intermission). Since that time, the fiIm has occasionaIly been circuIated 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 FiIm 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 fuIIer appreciation of both the personaI chalIenges he endured and the vast culturaI Iegacy he Ieft behind. |
