Ratings and reviews

Essential history, told beautifully, very atmospheric, incredibly powerful. A portrait of racism up-close, and the brilliance, the dignity, the humanity of Martin Luther King leading the fight for justice and equality. And winning. The ultimate inspiration.

A story of a people's believe to freedom and equality. I hope this flame is lit in the hearts of many, to do what's right and support what's true not just what's popular.

If ever there was a movie deserving of 5*, it is this one. A story of power, passion and the will to strive for a better world. Everyone should see this movie.
