Interesting story

4 stars

27 Jan 2022

This film was fabulous. The story was engaging, and we got to experience everything with Marin Luther King Jr. himself. We see what it was like to be Black in the South in 1965. First of all, registering to vote was impossible; we do that here without thinking twice. Black people were treated horribly, when all they wanted was to be treated equally. Dr. King's speeches were empowering and inspiring, and he helped to motivate Black people during a terrifying time. No matter what challenges Dr. King faced, he never gave in; it put a strain on his own marriage, but still he achieved his life goal in the end. This film was moving and inspiring; a must-watch! :)
