        A Great Bio depiction by a Great actor. It should be re-released in theaters on the 15th! If Im ever rich I'll hand out this movie to kids like Rockefeller used to hand out dimes to kids. When you sit still for a moment, watch this movie and ponder this man's convictions to bring about peace and equality for ALL men and women, it's humbling and truly awe inspiring. I'm a grown man and I could not seem to stop the liquid from falling down my cheeks. Happy B,Day Mr. MLK, America owes you a Great debt of gratitude.

          Just got my copy on dvd today. Very happy about that! It's sad that both Dr. King and Paul Winfield are gone.

            Excellently done.
            I don't think Malcolm is meant to be seen as evil, just frustrated.
            I would like to have seen the famous Hoover-King meeting after the feud.
            Thurgood Marshall, who maintained a friendship with both, says
            it was a manner of mutual frustration and impatience

                Amazing performance by Paul Winfield here. Like a lot of TV miniseries, this feels a bit too regimented at times, but Winfield is always dynamic and watchable as MLK.

                    Yeah, at this point it feels like a lot of "important" TV biopics of the era. Paul Winfield is excellent. The script, not so much.

                        This one totally escaped my awareness when it aired. I remember all the other fact-based miniseries of the era like "Roots" and "Manson," but not this. I must have been off having a dream or something.

                            Woops. indeedy: "Helter Skelter." Somehow I always get the titles of Steve Railsback films wrong; I always used "Ed Gein" instead of "In the Light of the Moon" it's since been retitled.
