I thought this movie was the most complete and complex of any biopic on King. I loved it.

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.
