Just Fantastic
I was absolutely floored by this movie. Though I am a child of the era and understood all of the goings on, I was not yet ready for the performance that Jeffrey gave in the role of Dr. King. I became familiar with him in the movie "Shaft" and am just beginning to realize his wonderful talent as a character actor. His voice was actually scary it sounded so much like Dr. King's. And the way he and Terrance Howard played off each other seemed so real. I forgot that Abernathy looked nothing like Howard. This is just a movie that I must own.
An awesome gay-friendly flick!!!
Bayard Rustin, an openly gay Black man, was the person that taught Dr. King about non-violence and organized the first March on Washington. There have been long, huge historical texts that document his work, but no filmic accounts of Mr. Rustin until now. I am glad this movie was correct and visionary enough to include him. I wish this DVD had subtitles, so that gay Black Francophones and Hispanophones could share in this. Please buy a copy of "Troubles I've Seen: A Biography of Bayard Rustin" as well.
A good movie
The only bad point was when people looked at the camera and talked. I learned a lot though.
