From the March on Washington in August 1963 until his assassination in April 1968, King was a subject of almost obsessive interest to the bureau and its director, J. Edgar Hoover, who saw King as a threat to the nation. Director Sam Pollard tells this story and, as A.O Scott of the NY Times states, "The result is at once suspenseful, visually engrossing and intellectually bracing. It also raises urgent, sometimes uncomfortable questions about power, privacy and the ethical challenges of examining the past."

See the film, in the running for an Oscar , and hear from this prolific and masterful director on the making of this film as he joins in conversation with noted filmmaker Ayoka Chenzira.
