Movie Title: Citizen King Citizen King is available for streaming or downloading. |
Along with the Paul Winfield movie on MLK (which the leisurely Winflield does for Dr. King what Denzel did for Malcolm X), this is clearly the best documentary of MLK that is avaialble on DVD.

Basically, it does not do considerable on his early years and skims the all-too familiar record of the Momtgomery bus boycott. But it deals with a lot of lesser known matters of his career from 1963 to his assassination in 1968.
The “Children’s Crusade” of Birmingham in 1963 is handled from all angles, as well as the events leading up to the March on Washington and the all-too familiar Dream Speech. We learn a lot more about lesser-known matters such as the issues surrounding his receiving the Nobel Prize, the Selma and Chicago campaigns (one considerable error here is that Dr. King himself never actually marched in the antiblack community of Cicero, Ill. in 1966, Dr. King marched in the equally racist Gage Park, but other independent marchers went to the eminent Cicero) . And we also peruse into his campaigns against the Vietnam War and poverty in America, which usually rep short shrift when Dr. King is taught to American schoolchildren, and the issues leading to his assassination.

This documentary is even more blatant than the Winfield movie in pointing out Dr. King’s flaws (womanizing, abominable health habits, questionable associations, etc) but it is a balanced portrait in showing the respectable that Dr. King attempted to effect during this time without compromising on his Ghandian philosophy.
One particularly inviting segment shows Dan Rather, who now prides himself on his professed sympathy for the movement, annoying Dr. King with questions about Communist associations (c. 1963) . Mike Wallace is also shown disturbing Dr. King (around 1966) about whether he is making white people tired with his demonstrations. Dr. King’s infuriate in both cases is controlled, but apparent.
But overall, the King novice as well as history fans, high school, and college students will do well to leer this in conjunction with the Paul Winfield film. Both will indicate the historical layman that Dr. King was about far more than dreaming dreams and making splendid speeches.
INTRODUCTION:
I worship Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but honestly I did not know mighty about him, except what I learned in high school United States history. Now I know why I appreciate the life, works, and words of Dr. King, even though as any mortal human he had his faults. This DVD, is a documentary of the most influential years of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) (and sadly the last years of his life) 1963 to 1968. This DVD, will expose all the complex and bewitching aspect of King’s life and I feel that the viewer will be joyful with this presentation and its discoveries.
In the US, there is a day plot aside as a public holiday called “Martin Luther King Day” and commemorates the civil rights struggle of the African Americans in the 1960s and is personified by the monumental persona of *Preacher King.*
From the very beginning of the DVD, the narrator tells us the key to view Dr. King. This key, is the fact that, first and foremost, Martin Luther King Jr. was a minister, a baptist preacher.
PRODUCER:
This is a documentary production that feels like a movie. There is a narrator that does an worthy job at walking the viewer through the well-documented steps of the civil rights movement and the life of Dr. King. The footage made me feel like I was piece of the action, … very personal, up-close cinematography. Another reviewer of this DVD (scrutinize “The Best of MLK on DVD”) mentions that there is a movie of MLK produced by Paul Winfield.
I found this DVD in a local public library in Santa Cruz. The quality of this documentary is so just and fair, that I am contemplating buying it for my collection.
CONTENT:
In 1955, Rosa Parks, another African-American Christian of deep faith, has the courage and legal integrity to fight against the racist Jim Crows laws of the southern states. Her simple action, … and content, was to not give up her seat on a public bus to an elder white man. This act of unruffled civil disobedience attach the grease on the wheels of the civil rights movement struggle against the racist Jim Crows laws of the southern US states (and subsequent imprisonment of those protesting) .
This DVD documentary starts in 1963, the year of the famous Bermingham Alabama’s “Chrildren’s Crusade” and the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom” - the dwelling of Dr. King’s illustrious speach “I have a dream.” What I liked about “Citizen King: An American Experience - 1963 to 1968) ” is the many estimable (and some abominable) things I learned about Dr. King.
I learned - that Dr. King was not only for the equal civil public factual of African Americans (encourage then referred to as negroes), but also spoke out against poverty, militarism (e.g. Vietnam conflict), and materialism.
I learned - that Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize and what he did with the money.
I learned - that Dr. King was an influential figure at the White House in the Johnson administration, that He was a man who knew his emotions well and was very diplomatic in any location.
I learned - that Dr. King was hated or chastised by some fellow African Americans (in the north - Chicago, or the west - California) and called “Dr. Martin Looser King” for his detached and Christian methods.
I learned - that Dr. King had amorous phone conversations with other women than his wife, and that the family King (Martin, Coretta, and kids) survived this life obstacle. I learned that the FBI was pro-actively alive to in undermining the civil rights movement.
And the *most fascinating* thing was finding who the most primary thinker/writer was in Martin Luther King’s life. While I had heard of Gandhi’s influence on King’s philosophy and practice of nonviolence (peek wikipedia article on Dr. King), I did not know that King had read and admired another Christian minister and outspoken fighter against racism (Jews) - Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Minister and pastor King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” - “a passionate statement of his crusade for justice” - sounds very noteworthy like Bonhoeffer’s posthumously published “Letter and Papers from Prison.” As outspoken fighters for freedom and spiritual truth, both pastor Bonhoeffer and preacher King had a untimely and early death, at the hands of the evils in our world.
CONCLUSION:
As a white protestant American AND an immigrant from eastern Europe, the life, works, and words of brother Martin Luther King Jr. is of monumental importance. What started as a assert on a bus, as marches of mild civil disobedience in a state of the United States, lead to a quarter million people marching on Washington D.C., a nationally televised speech - “I have a dream!”, and to national legislation giving African Americans their rightful equal-rights as citizens (the Voting Acts True, and the Civil Rights Act) .
To understand King as he was at the core (first and foremost, a Christian minister, a Baptist preacher) is to be like the FEW white folks who literally joined hands with King in the marches for human equality of the 1960s. I’m black that not more white Christians in the South (and the rest of the U.S.) visibly joined the fight for what the American Constitution calls “distinct unalienable Rights” with which they are “endowed, by their Creator” … specifically “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”
