Watched this last night. Anyone else? I thought it was flawed (needed more of a narrative) but brilliant. The bridge scene is still playing on my mind.

Amazing performance from David Oyewole. Yes, really enjoyed it, powerful movie!

I thought it was excellent - showing that tension between the idealism of peaceful protest and the hard-nosed political realities of driving a civil rights campaign. It showed MLK as a clear headed visionary - but also a man focused on 'the prize' at the expense of almost everything else. And the 'reportage' style worked for me. Great film.

His self doubt at times and the support he sought struck me
