Project Details
We initially approached this film to tell the story of King's later years, when he shifted from the Civil Rights movement to confront more radical issues. But as we started talking to the people around Dr King, his friends and co-workers, and as he began to feel real and vulnerable, it shifted to a much more personal story about what it means to fight. Meeting these amazing folks who were in their 70s and 80s and still quietly and tirelessly striving towards justice was one of the greatest experiences of my life. This was my fourth feature documentary for HBO.
