MLK/FBI

Based on newly declassified files, Sam Pollard's resonant film explores the US government's surveillance and harassment of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Details

MLK/FBI (2020) is a powerful and thought-provoking documentary film directed by Sam Pollard. The film sheds light on the previously undisclosed surveillance and harassment undertaken by the US government against civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.

Through the use of recently declassified files, Pollard uncovers the extent of the FBI's relentless efforts to undermine Dr. King's influence and activism during the 1960s. The documentary highlights the deeply troubling and invasive measures taken by the FBI, including bugging Dr. King's hotel rooms and wiretapping his phones, all in an attempt to discredit and intimidate him.

MLK/FBI provides a comprehensive and eye-opening examination of the lengths the government was willing to go to silence a prominent figure fighting for racial equality. This gripping documentary raises disturbing questions about the abuse of power and violations of civil liberties in the name of national security.

The film expertly weaves together interviews with key figures, including historians and former FBI agents, along with powerful archival footage and photos. It is a compelling and timely exploration of the complex relationship between government surveillance, racial injustice, and the struggle for civil rights.

MLK/FBI is a must-watch for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by Dr. King and the civil rights movement, and the enduring importance of their legacy in today's society.
