Summary: Best of the best
Comment: This is simply the best documentary on the life of King. Very raw and moving. The reason this documentary is not available on DVD and not being shown on TV is due to the King children. They own the rights to the film and have not release them. It is a money issue on their part.

Summary: Gone, but never forgotten.
Comment: It's a shame that here we are in the year of 2008, and like the previous writer pointed out I can't believe that this great documentary hasn't been transfered to DVD. I can remember that for years on Dr. King's birthday PBS would at least show the entire film of "Montgomery to Memphis". And now in the age of digitalization and sattelite tv, with more than your share of high definition telecasts you can't find Dr. Martin Luther King on any Tivo search engine. It appears now that one of the greatest orators of our time has finally been censored by the television and movie establishment. Maybe there are those in the majority whom do not want there children to see what it was really like for African Americans in the fiftys and sixtys. Dr. King was one of our greatest Americans who spoke so eloquently of a diverse America, that would surge ahead together, rather than separate. It's just amazing that on his birthday, for one day, we can not at least honor him by showing his documentary.

Summary: Amazing film, Conspicuous In It's Absence. (VHS only, NO dvd)
Comment: It is remarkable that this film, the most notable and succinct documentary film about the civil rights struggle and the life and death of Martin Luther King has not been transferred to dvd and made available to the public again. They don't even show it anymore on PBS or any other station. They don't even show it on King's Birthday. I often wonder why.
